Local Anesthetics
Definition :
These are drugs that when given either topically or
parentrally to a localized area, produce a state of local
anesthesia (loss of sensation without loss of
consciousness) by reversible blocking of the nerve
conductance that transmit the feeling of pain from this
area to the brain.
Mechanism of Action
The membrane of the nerve cell has sodium ion channels
which allow the influx of Na+ ions leading to excitation and
conductance .
