NESACAINE (chloroprocaine hydrochloride) by Fresenius Kabi is clinical pharmacology chloroprocaine, like other local anesthetics, blocks the generation and the conduction of nerve impulses, presumably by increasing the threshold for electrical excitation in the nerve, by slowing the propagation of the nerve impulse and by reducing the rate of rise of the action potential. First approved in 1955.

AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
NESACAINE (chloroprocaine hydrochloride) is a local anesthetic administered by injection that blocks nerve impulse generation and conduction for regional and local anesthesia. It works by increasing the electrical threshold in nerves and slowing action potential propagation, enabling pain relief during surgical and diagnostic procedures. The drug has been in use since 1955 and remains a standard-of-care option in perioperative anesthesia.
