Mechanism of action

Mepivacaine works by inhibiting the influx of sodium ions into nerve cells, which prevents the initiation and transmission of nerve impulses. This results in a temporary loss of sensation in the affected area. Epinephrine, added to the solution, causes vasoconstriction, which reduces bleeding and prolongs the duration of the anesthetic effect.
