==Drug Interactions==
 
 
 
===Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C===
 
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with PA. It also is not known whether PA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. PA should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
 
===Nursing Mothers===
 
Both PA and NAPA are excreted in human milk, absorbed by the nursing infant. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision to discontinue nursing or the drug should be made, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
 
===Pediatric Use===
 
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = PROCAINAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE INJECTION, SOLUTION [HOSPIRA, INC.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=17e47845-daad-434c-a784-6d3875b0d704 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 11 March 2014 }}</ref>
