Prilox Cream 10gm (Prilocaine + Lidocaine) are both amide-type local anesthetics. They work by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses along nerve fibers, preventing the sensation of pain, temperature, and touch in the treated area. The specific mechanism involves binding to sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the influx of sodium ions into nerve cells and preventing depolarization.
