About Cainpro 0.5%W/V Eye Drops 5ml

Cainpro 0.5%W/V Eye Drops 5ml belongs to the class of 'ophthalmic anaesthetics', primarily used to numb the eye or eyes before surgery, after injury, and other tests or medical procedures.

Cainpro 0.5%W/V Eye Drops 5ml contains 'Proparacaine hydrochloride,' a numbing medication that blocks the transmission of pain signals from the nerve endings of the eye to the brain.
