What is the brand name for 4% Prilocaine with vasoconstrictor?

• A. Citanest Forte
• B. Xylocaine
• C. Carbocaine
• D. Septocaine

Answer: (A)

When identifying brand names for prilocaine formulations, the key detail is whether the product includes a vasoconstrictor. The version that contains a vasoconstrictor (epinephrine) in a 4% prilocaine solution is marketed as Citanest Forte. The plain version, without vasoconstrictor, is sold as Citanest Plain. So for 4% prilocaine with vasoconstrictor, the correct brand is Citanest Forte. Other names correspond to different anesthetics: Xylocaine is lidocaine, Carbocaine is mepivacaine, and Septocaine is articaine.
