mepivacaine and Nervous System Diseases

mepivacaine has been researched along with Nervous System Diseases in 6 studies

Mepivacaine: A local anesthetic that is chemically related to BUPIVACAINE but pharmacologically related to LIDOCAINE. It is indicated for infiltration, nerve block, and epidural anesthesia. Mepivacaine is effective topically only in large doses and therefore should not be used by this route. (From AMA Drug Evaluations, 1994, p168)
mepivacaine : A piperidinecarboxamide in which N-methylpipecolic acid and 2,6-dimethylaniline have combined to form the amide bond. It is used as a local amide-type anaesthetic.

Nervous System Diseases: Diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. This includes disorders of the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscle.

"Mepivacaine seems to be a promising alternative to lidocaine for outpatient surgical procedures because of its similar duration of action."2.69Transient neurologic symptoms after spinal anesthesia with mepivacaine and lidocaine. ( Chisholm, MF; Liguori, GA; Zayas, VM, 1998)
