Proxymetacaine is an anesthetic.[1] Intrathecal administration of proxymetacaine reduces motor function, decreases righting behaviors in the placement test, and increases latency to paw withdrawal in the hot plate test in rats (ED50s = 0.24, 0.3, and 0.16 µM/kg, respectively). Topical application of proxymetacaine (0.5% w/v) reduces corneal sensitivity in the corneal touch test in dogs.[2] Formulations containing proxymetacaine have been used to induce anesthesia prior to ocular surgery.
