Mepivacaine

Mepivacaine is a local anesthetic used by doctors to numb specific areas of the body during procedures or dental work. It works by blocking nerve signals in the targeted area, preventing pain without causing loss of consciousness. Mepivacaine acts relatively quickly and provides lasting numbness. It is often preferred for procedures requiring moderate duration of anesthesia and can be administered with or without adrenaline to prolong its effect. Like other anesthetics, it should be used carefully under medical supervision to minimize potential side effects such as allergic reactions or toxicity.
