It is a local anesthetic that is used to anesthetize (numb) specific parts of the body to prevent pain during surgery in adults.

Before you are given Chloroprocaine, inform your doctor if you are allergic to the medicine or any of its ingredients, if you have serious heart problems or if you suffer from severe anemia.

Like all medicines, Chloroprocaine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. You may feel sick, have low blood pressure or have a slow heartbeat. Other possible effects are headache, vomiting, and difficulty in passing urine after surgery.

It may be administered as a single injection or continuously through a catheter.

The dose administered varies with the kind of surgery, the degree of anesthesia (numbness) required, the duration of anesthesia desired, and the physical condition of the patient.

No, this medicine must not be used in children as well as adolescents.
