Question 24 of 46

Yes, that statement is true.

Levonordefrin does have a similar action as epinephrine, however, it is to a lesser degree.

It can be found in the amide Mepivacaine 2% (Carbocaine) in a 1:20,000 concentration. Additionally, it can be found in the ester Propoxycaine 0.4% with Procaine 2% (Ravocaine) in a 1:20,000 concentration.

It is 15% as potent as epinephrine which is why higher concentrations are used.
