It has anti-shock activity, because prevents the formation of nerve impulses in the sensory nerve endings and holding their nerve fibers. Thus suppressed not only painful, but also other sensitive and motor impulses.

When released into the systemic circulation procaine inhibits the release of neurotransmitter (substance with which transmit nerve impulses at synapses - junctions of one nerve cell to another) acetylcholine at synapses of the nerve cells and nerve ganglia, thereby removing a spasm of smooth muscles of viscera and blood vessels (with reduced blood pressure), reducing myocardial excitability (antiarrhythmic action) and motor areas of the cerebral cortex. Affecting the autonomic nervous system receptors, located in the internal organs, Novocain is restructuring its innervation and thus has a long therapeutic effects in various diseases of internal organs.

Novocaine is widely used in medical practice. Duration of its actions is small - less than an hour.
