Septocaine is an injectable local anesthetic combining articaine hydrochloride with epinephrine, used for infiltration and nerve block anesthesia in dental and medical procedures. Articaine is an amide-type local anesthetic that blocks sodium channels to inhibit nerve conduction, while epinephrine acts as a vasoconstrictor to prolong anesthetic duration and reduce systemic toxicity. It is indicated for local anesthesia by infiltration and nerve block in adults and pediatric patients.
