Composition

• Active Ingredient: Proparacaine Hydrochloride 0.50% (Ophthalmic)

Indications

P-caine Eye Drop is indicated for:

• Corneal and conjunctival anesthesia during diagnostic procedures
• Tonometry (measurement of intraocular pressure)
• Removal of foreign bodies from the eye
• Minor ophthalmic surgical procedures
• Short-term pain relief in selected clinical settings (under supervision)

Mechanism of Action

Proparacaine Hydrochloride blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal membranes of the cornea and conjunctiva. This prevents the initiation and transmission of nerve impulses, resulting in rapid and temporary loss of sensation in the ocular surface.

• The onset of action occurs within seconds, and the effect lasts for approximately 10–20 minutes.
• Use strictly under medical supervision.
• Do not use repeatedly without clinical indication.

Benefits

• Rapid onset of ocular anesthesia

Side Effects

• Temporary burning or stinging sensation
• Eye redness or irritation
