Glossary Local Anesthetic

medication that numbs a specific area to prevent pain

A local anesthetic is a medication used to numb a specific area of the body to prevent pain during medical procedures. It works by blocking nerve signals in the targeted region, allowing patients to remain conscious and comfortable without feeling pain. Commonly used in minor surgeries, dental work, and skin biopsies, local anesthetics can be administered through injections, creams, or sprays.
