Procaine is a short-acting local anesthetic of the ester type, formerly widely used in dental and minor surgical procedures to induce local anesthesia. It works by blocking sodium channels, thereby inhibiting nerve impulse transmission. Its use today as a single agent is limited due to the advent of more effective and longer-acting agents, but it is still available in some markets, often in combination with other drugs (e.g., vasoconstrictors like epinephrine) to prolong activity and reduce systemic absorption.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for healthy adult volunteers, standard population, combination drug containing procaine (with epinephrine), typical clinical use scenario.
