Prilocaine is a local anesthetic of the amide type, commonly used for infiltration anesthesia, nerve block, and in combination with other anesthetics such as lidocaine for topical or regional anesthesia. It is used to cause loss of sensation during minor surgical procedures and dental work. The fixed combination with lidocaine (under trade name EMLA) is widely approved for topical anesthesia of the skin.
Estimated pharmacokinetics in healthy adult subjects, typical topical application (EMLA) on intact skin. Published reports for prilocaine combinations are sparse; parameters are based on mean values reported for prilocaine in topical lidocaine-prilocaine formulation.
