How is Chloroprocaine Different from Lidocaine?

Onset: Chloroprocaine acts faster than lidocaine—often within 3–6 minutes. Duration: Chloroprocaine has a shorter duration of action. Type: Chloroprocaine is an ester anesthetic; lidocaine is an amide. Metabolism: Chloroprocaine is rapidly metabolized by plasma cholinesterase, reducing systemic toxicity.

Is Chloroprocaine FDA Approved?

Does Chloroprocaine Interact with Other Drugs?
