Novocaine (Procaine) - instructions for use. The drug is a prescription, the information is intended only for healthcare professionals!

Clinical and pharmacological group:

Local anesthetic.

pharmachologic effect

A local anesthetic with moderate anesthetic activity and a wide range of therapeutic effects. Being a weak base, it blocks Na+ channels, preventing the generation of impulses in the endings of sensory nerves and the conduction of impulses along nerve fibers. Changes the action potential in the membranes of nerve cells without a pronounced effect on the resting potential. Suppresses the conduction of not only pain, but also impulses of other modalities.

When absorbed and directly vascularly introduced into the bloodstream, it reduces the excitability of peripheral cholinergic systems, reduces the formation and release of acetylcholine from preganglionic endings (has some ganglion-blocking effect), eliminates spasm of smooth muscles, reduces the excitability of the myocardium and motor zones of the cerebral cortex.

Eliminates descending inhibitory influences of the reticular formation of the brain stem. Inhibits polysynaptic reflexes. In large doses, it can cause convulsions. It has a short anesthetic activity (the duration of infiltration anesthesia is 0.5-1 hour).

Pharmacokinetics

Subject to complete systemic absorption. The extent of absorption depends on the site and route of administration (especially vascularization and blood flow rate of administration) and the final dose (amount and concentration). It is quickly hydrolyzed by plasma and liver esterases to form two main pharmacologically active metabolites: diethylaminoethanol (has a moderate vasodilator effect) and para-aminobenzoic acid (is a competitive antagonist of sulfonamide drugs and can weaken their antimicrobial effect). T1/2 - 30-50 s, in the neonatal period - 54-114 s. It is excreted primarily by the kidneys in the form of metabolites; no more than 2% are excreted unchanged.

Indications for use of the drug NOVOCAINE

Infiltration, conduction, epidural and spinal anesthesia, intraosseous anesthesia, anesthesia of the mucous membranes (in ENT practice); vagosympathetic and perinephric blockade. Circular and paravertebral blockades for eczema, neurodermatitis, ischalgia.

Intravenously: to potentiate the action of basic anesthetics; for the relief of pain of various origins.

Intramuscularly: to dissolve penicillin in order to extend its duration of action; as an adjuvant for certain diseases that are more common in old age, incl. endarteritis, atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, spasms of coronary and cerebral vessels, joint diseases of rheumatic and infectious origin.

Rectal: hemorrhoids, spasms of intestinal smooth muscles, anal fissures.

Dosage regimen

For procaine solution 5 mg/ml (0.5%):

For infiltration anesthesia, 350-600 mg (70-120 ml) is administered. Higher doses for infiltration anesthesia for adults: the first single dose at the beginning of the operation - no more than 0.75 g (150 ml), then during each hour of the operation - no more than 2 g (400 ml) of solution.

For perinephric blockade (according to A.V. Vishnevsky), 50-80 ml is injected into the perinephric tissue.

For circular and paravertebral blockade, 5-10 ml is administered intradermally. For vagosympathetic blockade, 30-40 ml is administered.

To reduce absorption and prolong the effect of local anesthesia, an additional 0.1% solution of epinephrine hydrochloride is administered - 1 drop per 2-5-10 ml of procaine solution.

The maximum dose for use in children over 12 years of age is 15 mg/kg.

For conduction and epidural anesthesia, a 2% solution is used.

Rectally. Having previously freed the suppository from the contour packaging using scissors (cutting the packaging along the contour of the suppository), insert it deep into the anus (after a cleansing enema or spontaneous release of the intestines) 1-2 times a day.

Side effect

From the central and peripheral nervous system: headache, dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, trismus.

From the cardiovascular system: increased or decreased blood pressure, peripheral vasodilation, collapse, bradycardia, arrhythmias, chest pain.

From the hematopoietic organs: methemoglobinemia.

Allergic reactions: skin itching, skin rash, other anaphylactic reactions (including anaphylactic shock), urticaria (on the skin and mucous membranes). If, while using the drug, any of the side effects indicated in the instructions appear or they get worse, or you notice any other side effects not listed in the instructions, inform your doctor.

Contraindications to the use of the drug NOVOCAINE

Hypersensitivity (including to para-aminobenzoic acid and other local anesthetic esters). Children's age up to 12 years.

For anesthesia using the creeping infiltrate method - pronounced fibrous changes in the tissues.

Carefully. Emergency operations accompanied by acute blood loss; conditions accompanied by a decrease in hepatic blood flow (for example, chronic heart failure, liver disease); progression of cardiovascular failure (usually due to the development of heart block and shock); inflammatory diseases or infection of the injection site; pseudocholinesterase deficiency; renal failure; children's age from 12 to 18 years, old age (over 65 years); with caution in seriously ill and/or debilitated patients; during pregnancy and during childbirth.

Use of the drug NOVOCAINE during pregnancy and breastfeeding

If it is necessary to prescribe the drug during pregnancy, the expected benefit to the mother should be compared with the potential risk to the fetus. With caution during childbirth.

If it is necessary to use the drug during lactation, the issue of stopping breastfeeding should be decided.

Use for liver dysfunction

Use with caution in case of liver diseases.

Use for renal impairment

Use with caution in case of renal failure.

Use in elderly patients

Use with caution in elderly patients (over 65 years of age).

Use in children under 12 years of age

Contraindicated for children under 12 years of age. Use with caution in children aged 12 to 18 years.

special instructions

Patients require monitoring of the functions of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system and central nervous system.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors should be discontinued 10 days before local anesthetic administration.

It should be borne in mind that when performing local anesthesia using the same total dose, the toxicity of procaine is higher, the more concentrated the solution is used.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and machinery

During the treatment period, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Overdose

Symptoms: pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, “cold” sweat, increased breathing, tachycardia, decreased blood pressure, even collapse, apnea, methemoglobinemia. The effect on the central nervous system is manifested by a feeling of fear, hallucinations, convulsions, and motor agitation.

Treatment: maintaining adequate pulmonary ventilation, detoxification and symptomatic therapy.

Drug interactions

Strengthens the inhibitory effect on the central nervous system of drugs for general anesthesia, sleeping pills, sedatives, narcotic analgesics and tranquilizers.

Anticoagulants (ardeparin sodium, dalteparin sodium, danaparoid sodium, enoxaparin sodium, heparin sodium, warfarin) increase the risk of bleeding. When treating the injection site with disinfectant solutions containing heavy metals, the risk of developing a local reaction in the form of pain and swelling increases.

Use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (furazolidone, procarbazine, selegiline) increases the risk of developing a pronounced decrease in blood pressure. Strengthens and prolongs the effect of muscle relaxants. Vasoconstrictors (epinephrine, methoxamine, phenylephrine) prolong the local anesthetic effect.

Procaine reduces the antimyasthenic effect of drugs, especially when used in high doses, which requires additional correction of the treatment of myasthenia gravis.

Cholinesterase inhibitors (antimyasthenic drugs, cyclophosphamide, demecaria bromide, ecothiopathy iodide, thiotepa) reduce the metabolism of local anesthetic drugs.

The metabolite of procaine (para-aminobenzoic acid) is an antagonist of sulfonamides.

Conditions for dispensing from pharmacies

The drug is available with a prescription.

Storage conditions and periods

Store the drug in a place protected from light, at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. Keep out of the reach of children.

special instructions

During the use of Novocaine, it is necessary to monitor the functions of the cardiovascular, central nervous and respiratory systems.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors should be discontinued 10 days before the local anesthetic is administered.

Before starting to use Novocaine, tests should be carried out to determine individual sensitivity to the action of the active substance. It must be taken into account that the more concentrated the solution is used, the higher the toxicity of procaine when using the same total dose.

Drug interactions

When Novocaine is used together with certain drugs, the following effects may occur:

• General anesthesia, sleeping pills and sedatives, narcotic analgesics, tranquilizers: increased inhibitory effect on the central nervous system;
• Anticoagulants (warfarin, enoxaparin sodium, danaparoid sodium, dalteparin sodium, ardeparin sodium, heparin sodium): increased likelihood of bleeding;
• Disinfectant solutions containing heavy metals (when treating the injection site): increased risk of developing local reactions in the form of swelling and pain;
• Guanadrel, guanethidine, mecamylamine, trimethaphan camsylate (during epidural anesthesia): increased likelihood of developing bradycardia and a sharp decrease in blood pressure;
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (procarbazine, furazolidone, selegiline): increased risk of excessive reduction in blood pressure;
• Cholinesterase inhibitors (antimyasthenic drugs, cyclophosphamide, demecarium bromide, ecothiopathy iodide, thiotepa): decreased metabolism of procaine;
• Muscle relaxants: strengthening and prolonging their action;
• Narcotic analgesics: development of additive effect, increased respiratory depression;

How to forget about back and joint pain?

We all know what pain and discomfort are. Arthrosis, arthritis, osteochondrosis and back pain seriously spoil life, limiting normal activities - it is impossible to raise an arm, step on a leg, or get out of bed.

What is novocaine? A medical product of synthetic origin, unique in its composition, which is usually classified as a group of drugs for local anesthesia. It has a direct analgesic effect, which is observed after the drug is absorbed into the blood. A solution administered intravenously in the form of injections, with a volume of about five mg, also allows it to have an anti-inflammatory effect, and also act as an analgesic that can somewhat reduce the occurrence and development of spasms in smooth muscles.

What is noteworthy is that novocaine, injections of which are carried out intravenously in accordance with the regulations of medical standards, provides a general decrease in the excitability of the heart muscle. Unlike the similar anesthetic drug cocaine, it has slightly less toxicity, but also has less impact, which should be taken into account. The difference is observed in terms of approximately 10 times and this is the key difference between the drugs.

Features of application

A solution of novocaine injections, which is taken based on the norm of five injections, is used, according to medical practice, for direct local anesthesia, as well as a number of anesthesia, such as the Zakharyin-Ged zone, in dentistry and other situations. It is customary to use the drug intramuscularly, which will allow the composition to be easily delivered to the human body and ensure subsequent pain relief. In particular, intravenous novocaine is relevant when performing spinal anesthesia, which is the most difficult for a potential patient who consults a doctor. This drug is also relevant during tissue infiltration surgery, when performing general anesthesia, when injections of novocaine in a dosage of five mg are designed to provide the necessary effect with minimal side effects.

Rules of use, individual characteristics, doctor’s prescription

Some specific features have been developed and established, according to which five mg novocaine injections are used intramuscularly. However, all the basic definitions and specifics of use are worked out directly by the attending physician. For this reason, before using novocaine in the form of mg injections, you will definitely need to undergo appropriate consultation. We can highlight the following features of the use of novocaine, through which it is important to distribute rationing and subsequent supply of components in the required quantity.

The following order of supply and normalization of the drug is determined:

• If it is necessary to provide mg of novocaine when performing anesthesia of the corresponding Zakharyin-Ged zone, it is customary to use a solution in a ratio of 0.25-0.5%. A similar dosage is used when carrying out a mandatory novocaine blockade, which will eliminate the occurrence of side effects and pain.
• If spinal anesthesia is necessary, the mg dose is increased slightly, ranging from 2-5%.
• Dentists also use novocaine injections, and a solution of mg injections is taken in a percentage of no more than 2%.
• Conductive as well as sacral anesthesia will require the use of a mg solution within 1-2%, depending on the complexity of the situation.

This decision and injection solution is made by the attending physician, who uses the results of pre-compiled tests. What is noteworthy is that there is a procedure for enhancing the effect of novocaine, as well as prolonging the effect of the drug for local anesthesia, which, therefore, will guarantee an excellent painless effect. In this case, adrenaline is used as an additional component, their ratio is one drop of the drug per injection solution of approximately 10 milliliters of the novocaine component. In a similar way and in the appropriate dosage, novocaine is actively used in therapy, which has made it an important component of treatment. The drug solution does not have any side effects, provided that all necessary standards and conditions and dosage are met.

Among the drugs used in plastic surgery and cosmetology, novocaine is one of the most common. In the absence of it, many surgeons prescribe it for, if necessary, long-term surgical intervention. The basis of the action of this remedy is the blocking of sodium channels through which nerve impulses and pain are transmitted.

What is novocaine

The drug in question has moderate conductivity, it is widely used when performing local anesthesia in plastic surgery and cosmetology, which is ensured by changing the potential difference index. The medicine is used to block the propagation of nerve impulses.

The pharmacological effect on the body when administered Novocain is characterized by a rapid decrease in the excitability of peripheral systems responsible for tissue soreness and the activity of pain.

The effect also reduces the severity of smooth muscle spasms; when used, the excitability of the motor zone, which is located in the cerebral cortex, decreases.

The video below will tell you about anesthesia, including the use of Novocaine for it:

Price

The cost of the drug Novocain can be considered quite affordable in comparison with other drugs with similar analgesic effects: its price varies depending on the selling company from 15 to 25 rubles per package.

Compound

Release forms and types of material

The following main forms of the drug in question are commercially available, which are easy to use and have an identical effect on the body:

1. A ready-made solution intended for injection, which is a completely transparent liquid, colorless and odorless. The solution is in glass ampoules, the volume of which can be from 1 to 20 mg. The percentage of active substance in them is 0.25 and 0.5, respectively. A ready-made injection solution of 1 and 2 percent is also offered for sale.
2. Novocaine powder, which should be diluted in physiological fluid.
3. A sterile solution of the finished substance, which is bottled in bottles of various volumes.
4. Ointment with different percentages of active substance.

The listed varieties have almost identical composition; the content of the active substance may differ slightly.

Comparison with other drugs of this type

In comparison with other drugs that have an analgesic effect (eg.), Novocaine has a minimal number of side effects and copes well with pain even during long-term surgical interventions. Novocaine rarely causes allergic reactions, so it is used even for particularly sensitive people.

Its use in cosmetology and plastic surgery

Due to its qualities, the drug is widely used both in plastic surgery and cosmetology. Carrying out corrections of the body and face for the purpose of skin rejuvenation and using Novocaine ensures the absence of painful sensations. Its use is also possible during the recovery period, especially in case of prolonged pain.

The minimum number of possible side effects when using novocaine makes it possible to use it even with increased sensitivity of the body. Many cosmetic procedures are also performed using this drug if they affect the deeper layers of the epidermis, causing unpleasant and painful sensations.

• and so on.

By the way, it also helps a lot if there is pain with hemorrhoids, as well as.

Pain relief with Novocaine during hair removal is described in the video below:

Contraindications

However, there are a number of contraindications for the use of Novocaine, which must be taken into account if pain relief is necessary during surgical operations. These conditions should be considered:

• exacerbation of current chronic diseases;
• allergic manifestations and hypersensitivity to the active substance of the drug;
• decreased blood clotting and disturbances in the hematopoietic process.

The drug should be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Instructions for use
