Octocaine ® 20mg/ml +0,01 mg/ml
Octocaine® is a local anesthetic with an excellent therapeutic index that can ensure rapid and effective anesthesia.
Two single concentrations of epinephrine (adrenaline):
Octocaine® comes in two concentrations of epinephrine. The lower concentration of epinephrine minimizes the possible appearance of side effects with the same pharmacological activity. For circumstances requiring significant hemostasis, a second presentation is available with a higher concentration of epinephrine than is used in conventional dental interventions.
