Paracaine Eye Drops is a topical medicine that is applied directly to the affected area. It is not taken orally or internally.

The active ingredient in Paracaine Eye Drops is proparacaine hydrochloride.

• Proparacaine hydrochloride blocks nerve signals in the eye, temporarily numbing the surface area.
• It inhibits the function of sodium channels in nerve cells, preventing them from transmitting pain signals.
• Proparacaine hydrochloride helps reduce discomfort and pain associated with eye conditions by numbing the eye's surface.
• The effect of proparacaine hydrochloride is temporary and wears off after some time.
• It is important to note that proparacaine hydrochloride does not treat the underlying cause of the pain but provides temporary relief.
