Etidocaine, a new local anesthetic. 1979

R G Bennett, and P Robins

Different local anesthetics have different physicochemical properties that result in different biological effects. Etidocaine (Duranest) is said to be a long-acting anesthetic with a rapid onset of action, properties that are particularly useful in busy office practices in which lengthy operative procedures are performed. Clinical testing confirmed that this anesthetic does, indeed, work in this manner, which makes it a good addition to the varieties of local anesthetics available.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D004341	Drug Evaluation	Any process by which toxicity, metabolism, absorption, elimination, preferred route of administration, safe dosage range, etc., for a drug or group of drugs is determined through clinical assessment in humans or veterinary animals.

D004837	Epinephrine	The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
