Procaine is a local anesthetic drug with the chemical formula C 13 H 20 N 2 O 2 . It belongs to the amino ester group of local anesthetics. It is employed for local anesthesia, providing pain relief in various medical and dental settings. Procaine works by blocking nerve impulses and causing temporary loss of sensation in a specific area of the body. It is usually administered through injection to induce local anesthesia.
