CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
SCANDONEST stabilizes the neuronal membrane and prevents the
initiation and transmission of nerve
impulses, thereby effecting local anesthesia.
SCANDONEST is rapidly metabolized, with only a small percentage of the
anesthetic (5 to 10 percent)
being excreted unchanged in the urine. SCANDONEST because of its amide
structure, is not detoxified
by the circulating plasma esterases. The
