Procaine HCL Sterop

Procaine HCL Sterop Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

A local anesthetic of the ester type that has a slow onset and a short duration of action. It is mainly used for infiltration anesthesia, peripheral nerve block, and spinal block. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1016). Procaine HCL Sterop has also been investigated as an oral entry inhibitor in treatment-experienced HIV patients .

Procaine HCL Sterop is an anesthetic agent indicated for production of local or regional anesthesia, particularly for oral surgery. Procaine HCL Sterop (like cocaine) has the advantage of constricting blood vessels which reduces bleeding, unlike other local anesthetics like lidocaine. Procaine HCL Sterop is an ester anesthetic. It is metabolized in the plasma by the enzyme pseudocholinesterase through hydrolysis into para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which is then excreted by the kidneys into the urine.

How Procaine HCL Sterop works

Procaine HCL Sterop acts mainly by inhibiting sodium influx through voltage gated sodium channels in the neuronal cell membrane of peripheral nerves. When the influx of sodium is interrupted, an action potential cannot arise and signal conduction is thus inhibited. The receptor site is thought to be located at the cytoplasmic (inner) portion of the sodium channel. Procaine HCL Sterop has also been shown to bind or antagonize the function of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors as well as nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and the serotonin receptor-ion channel complex.
