Citanest indications
Citanest with Octapressin is a unique, latex free and adrenaline free local anaesthetic that is indicated for the production of local anaesthesia in routine dental procedures and oral surgery by means of infiltration and nerve block techniques.
Citanest contra-indications
Allergy or hypersensitivity to amide type local anaesthetics or other components of the injection solution which may be present.Detection of suspected sensitivity by skin testing is of limited value.
Congenital or idiopathic methaemoglobinaemia.
Local anaesthetic techniques must not be used when there is inflammation and/or sepsis in the region of the proposed injection.
Does Citanest contain Adrenaline/Epinephrine?
Citanest with Octapressin does not contain adrenaline and uses Felypressin as a vasoconstrictor instead of epinephrine, allowing use on more diverse patients.
Prilocaine, the active ingredient in Citanest, is less toxic systemically versus other local amide based anaesthetics
What are the potential adverse effects of Citanest?
Reactions to prilocaine are rare in the doses used in dental procedures.
If adverse effects occur, they are similar in character to those observed with other local anaesthetics of the amide type.
Psychogenic reactions in anticipation of or during the dental procedures are, however, common and may mimic the symptoms of generalised systemic reaction to local anaesthetics.
Adverse effects may be due to high plasma levels as a result of excessive dosage, rapid absorption, delayed elimination or metabolism, or inadvertent intravascular injection. Such reactions are systemic in nature and involve the central nervous system and/or the cardiovascular system.
Pronounced acidosis or hypoxia may increase the risk and severity of toxic reactions.
The following adverse effects are rare when associated with dental use of prilocaine:
Nervousness, dizziness, blurred vision, tremor, drowsiness, tinnitus, numbness, disorientation, nausea, vomiting, headache, palpitations, and tachycardia.
More serious reactions that reflect an overdosage of prilocaine are:
Convulsions, unconsciousness, respiratory depression or arrest, hypotension, cardiovascular collapse and bradycardia which may lead to cardiac arrest.

How should Citanest 3% be stored?
- 3% Citanest Dental with Octapressin should be stored below 25°C.
- Protect from light.
- Local anaesthetics react with certain metals and cause the release of their respective ions which, if injected, may cause severe local irritation.
- Adequate precautions should be taken to avoid prolonged contact between 3% Citanest Dental with Octapressin solutions and metal surfaces, eg. cartridges should not be preloaded and connected to needles until just prior to use.
- Cartridges showing discolouration or cracks should be discarded.
- 3% Citanest Dental with Octapressin solutions should not be autoclaved.
- Surface sterilisation using pure, undiluted isopropyl alcohol (91%) or 70% ethyl alcohol (USP) may be carried out if desired.
