Overview
Procaine is a local anesthetic that is FDA approved for the {{{indicationType}}} of local Anesthetic for local infiltration and peripheral nerve block. Common adverse reactions include myocardial depression, hypotension and sometimes hypertension, bradycardia, ventricular arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest,nausea/vomiting, cutaneous lesions of delayed onset, urticaria, and edema related to allergic reactions , nervousness, dizziness, blurred vision, and tremors may occur due to systemic toxicity; however, drowsiness or convulsions with subsequent unconsciousness and respiratory arrest..
Adult Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)
Parenteral route
Infiltration Anesthesia
- Procaine 0.25% to 0.5% solutions in doses of 350 to 600 milligrams may be used for Infiltration Anesthesia. Epinephrine may be added for vasoconstrictive effect to give a final concentration of 1:200,000.
Peripheral Nerve Block
- For, Procaine 0.5% solution (up to 200 milliliters), 1% solution (up to 100 milliliters), or 2% solution (up to 50 milliliters) is recommended. The 2% solution is generally limited to procedures requiring a small volume of anesthetic, ie, 10 to 25 milliliters (mL). An anesthetic solution of 0.5 mL to 1 mL of Epinephrine 1:1,000 per 100 mL may be used to promote vasoconstriction (1:200,000 or 1:100,000).
- To prepare 60 milliliters (mL) of a 0.5% solution (5 milligrams/mL), dilute 30 mL of the 1% solution with 30 mL sodium chloride 0.9% injection. To prepare 60 mL of a 0.25% solution (2.5 milligrams/mL), dilute 15 mL of the 1% solution with 45 mL sodium chloride 0.9% injection .
Anesthesia of the perineum
- A dose of procaine 50 milligrams of a 10% solution mixed with an equal amount of diluent may be used for Anesthesia of the perineum; 100 milligrams (1 milliliter) diluted with an equal amount of diluent for the perineum and lower extremities; and up to 200 milligrams (2 milliliters) with 1 milliliter of diluent for anesthesia of the costal margin.
Maximum Dose
- Usual total dose of Procaine during one treatment should not exceed 1000 milligrams.
Dosage in Renal Failure
- The serum half-life of Procaine has been prolonged in some uremic patients.
Dosage in Hepatic Insufficiency
- The serum half-life of Procaine has been prolonged in patients with liver disease; dosage reductions are recommended.
Dosage in Geriatric Patients
- Patient response to Procaine varies, and reduced doses should be given to elderly or acutely ill patients (Prod Info Novocain(R), 1990a).
Dosage in Other Disease States
- Procaine doses should be reduced in patients with cardiac disease.
- Reduced doses of procaine may be necessary for obstetric delivery and in patients with increased intra-abdominal pressure.
