About this Medicine
Phenocaine Plus Injection is used as a local ocular anesthetic, primarily during cataract surgery. It may also be used during eye examinations or diagnostic tests. It dilates the pupils and provides a clear view of the eye’s interior structures. It also numbs the eye to prevent pain during the procedure. Phenocaine Plus Injection is administered by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. It is injected into the eye before the procedure to ensure proper pupil dilation and local anesthesia. To get the maximum benefit, follow your doctor's instructions and avoid touching or rubbing your eyes after the injection.Common side effects of this medicine include temporary blurred vision, light sensitivity, or eye redness. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. To manage light sensitivity, wear sunglasses after the procedure. If you experience severe pain, persistent vision changes, or signs of an allergic reaction, contact your doctor immediately.Before receiving the injection, inform your doctor of any medications or health conditions you have to ensure safety. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until your vision returns to normal. Inform your doctor if you have a history of glaucoma, heart disease, or any other significant health conditions.
How it Works
Phenocaine Plus Injection is a combination of three ingredients. Tropicamide dilates the pupil (mydriasis) and paralyzes the muscle (cycloplegia) of the eye during certain medical procedures. Phenylephrine helps doctors see better inside the eye and to reduce redness. It makes your pupils (the black part in the center of your eyes) bigger. It does this by making the muscles in your eye contract. It can also shrink the blood vessels in your eyes, which helps reduce redness. Lidocaine works by blocking the nerve signals that send pain sensations to the brain. This means you won’t feel pain in your eye while the Phenocaine Plus Injection is effective.
