Crystalline Solid
The Uses of proxymetacaine
Topical anesthetic (ophthalmic)
Background
Proparacaine is a topical anesthetic drug of the amino ester group. It is found in ophthalmic solutions at a concentration of 0.5% as the hydrochloride salt.
Indications
Used as a local (ophthalmic) anesthetic.
Definition
ChEBI: Proparacaine is a benzoate ester.
