mepivacaine + lidocaine

This drug entry refers to a specific local anesthetic combination of **mepivacaine** and **lidocaine** (1.5% concentration) used for **pericervical anesthesia** in the context of a clinical trial conducted by the **Ospedale degli Infermi di Biella**. The combination is administered via pericervical infiltration (typically at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions) to manage **procedural pain** during outpatient operative hysteroscopy performed with a miniresector. Both mepivacaine and lidocaine are amide-type local anesthetics that work by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses to provide rapid and effective regional analgesia.
