THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Local Anesthetic for Infiltration and Regional Nerve Block
ACTION
MECHANISM OF ACTION
NESACAINE (chloroprocaine hydrochloride) stabilizes the neuronal
membrane and prevents
the initiation and transmission of nerve impulses, thereby effecting
local anesthetic action.
ONSET OF ACTION
The onset of action is rapid (usually within 6 to 12 minutes). The
duration of anesthesia
depends on the procedure and the amount used, but could last up to 60
minutes.
PHARMACOKINETICS AND METABOLISM
Chloroprocaine is rapidly hydrolyzed in plasma by
pseudocholinesterase. This hydrolysis
results in the formation of β-diethylaminoethanol and
2-chloro-4-aminobenzoic acid which
inhibits the action of sulfonamides. See PRECAUTIONS.
Solutions of NESACAINE do not injure nervous tissue and are not
irritating to other tissues in
the recommended concentrations.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
NESACAINE (chloroprocaine hydrochloride) is indicated for the
production of local
anesthesia by infiltration and regional nerve block, including caudal
and epidural blocks. Any
unused portion should be discarded. NESACAINE should not be used for
spinal anesthesia.
