Product Description:
Procaine HCl, also known as Novocain hydrochloride, is a local anesthetic drug that belongs to the group of amino esters. It is a white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C13H20N2O2·HCl. Procaine HCl is soluble in water and has a slightly bitter taste. It is commonly used for its anesthetic properties in various medical and dental procedures.

Function:
The primary function of procaine HCl is to provide local anesthesia by blocking nerve impulses. When administered, it numbs the specific area where it is applied, resulting in temporary loss of sensation. Procaine HCl acts by inhibiting the sodium ion influx into the nerve cells, thereby preventing the generation and conduction of nerve impulses.

Application:
Procaine HCl has a wide range of applications in the medical and dental fields. It is commonly used as a local anesthetic during minor surgical procedures, dental work, and diagnostic tests. It can be administered via injection or applied topically as an ointment or gel. Procaine HCl effectively numbs the skin, mucous membranes, and underlying tissues, relieving pain during various medical interventions. Additionally, procaine HCl is sometimes used in combination with other medications for epidural anesthesia or as a component of regional nerve blocks.
