PHYSIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Product Description

Tetracaine Hydrochloride is a potent ester-type local anesthetic widely used in ophthalmic, topical, and spinal anesthesia. It acts by blocking nerve signal transmission, providing rapid and long-lasting numbness. Salius Pharma supplies Tetracaine HCl as a high-purity white crystalline powder, compliant with BP/USP/EP regulatory standards.

How Tetracaine Hydrochloride Works

Tetracaine HCl works by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve membranes. This action prevents the generation and conduction of nerve impulses, resulting in localized anesthesia. It is 10–15 times more potent than procaine and provides longer duration of anesthesia, which makes it suitable for procedures requiring deep local numbness.

Use(s)

• Ophthalmic anesthesia for eye procedures
• Topical anesthesia for skin and mucous membranes
• Spinal anesthesia in surgical settings
• Used in gels, creams, and ophthalmic drops
• Component in high potency numbing formulations

Adverse Effects

• Mild stinging or burning at application site
• Local erythema or irritation
• Rare allergic reactions (more common with ester-type anesthetics)
• Systemic toxicity at high doses: dizziness, tremors, hypotension (rare in regulated medical use)
