Propoxycaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic of the ester type that has a rapid onset of action and a longer duration of action than procaine hydrochloride. Propoxycaine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of propoxycaine, a para-aminobenzoic acid ester. Propoxycaine binds to and inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the ionic flux required for the initiation and conduction of impulses. This results in a loss of sensation.
