Active Ingredient History
Amylocaine (trade name Stovaine) is a local anesthetic, that was widely used for spinal anesthesia in Caesarean section. The dose used would produce anesthesia for up to 1 h. Reports of the use of spinal analgesia for abdominal and perineal surgery in infants are found from several centers during the first half of the twentieth century. However, this agent often fails to provide good maternal sensory block and currently, Amylocaine has been replaced with new anesthetics. NCATS
