Procaine Hydrochloride

The attenuations are prepared from Procaine hydrochloride, C₁₃H₂₁ClN₂O₂, MW: 272.8.

Procaine has been in use as a local anaesthetic for many decades and, on the basis of the results of research by Prof. Aslan (Bucharest), has also been used in the treat- ment of geriatric illness. Hunecke discovered the so-called “seconds phenomenon” which appeared when it was applied neurally, e.g. by injection into scar-tissue, seg- mental interference-fields, tonsils, etc. The effect is interpreted as repolarisation of the cell membrane, and can be characterised by spectacular results, i.e. immediate and complete disappearance of pain etc., possibly permanently. This preparation should be used at least in all cases of pain and neural affections, neural interference- fields, etc., in the form of an injection, usually a 1% solution corresponding to a 2X potency.
