Chloroprocaine

Chloroprocaine

Chloroprocaine is a local anesthetic given by injection during surgical procedures and labor and delivery. Chloroprocaine 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.
