tetracaine hydrochloride

Tetracaine hydrochloride (CAS 136-47-0) is a potent ester-type local anesthetic, structurally related to procaine but with a longer duration of action and higher potency. It works by reversibly blocking sodium channels on neuronal membranes, preventing nerve impulse conduction. We supply it as a white crystalline powder with a minimum purity of 99%, meeting the requirements for pharmaceutical formulations and compounding.

This API is widely used in topical anesthetics, spinal anesthesia, and ophthalmic preparations. Its rapid onset and extended effect make it a preferred choice in surgical and diagnostic procedures. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with international pharmacopeial standards.

Synonyms: Amethocaine hydrochloride, p-Butylaminobenzoyl-2-dimethylaminoethanol hydrochloride, Tetracaine HCl, Anethaine, Pontocaine hydrochloride, Dicain, Decicain.
