Pharmacology
Oxybuprocaine is a local anaesthetic.
Absorption
It may be less irritating than tetracaine, and the onset and duration of action are similar to tetracaine.
Distribution
Oxybuprocaine binds to sodium channel and reversibly stabilizes the neuronal membrane which decreases its permeability to sodium ions.
Metabolism
Depolarization of the neuronal membrane is inhibited thereby blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses.
