Citanest® DENTAL with Octapressin®

90 minute duration

Short onset1

Reliable anaesthesia

No adrenaline

It doesn’t happen to all patients. But it does happen2. A racing heart and the feeling of panic after a block injection is not pleasant for anyone, and can lead to a loss in patient confidence.

You can avoid this phenomenon by using Citanest with Octapressin for routine block injections. Prilocaine is less toxic than both Lignocaine and Mepivacaine3 yet offers a longer 90 minute duration4, and deep, predictable anaesthesia without adrenaline.

Consider Citanest with Octapressin for your next block. Your patient will appreciate it.
