What people report to the FDA about Procaine Hydrochloride
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 152 reports naming Procaine Hydrochloride, and the FDA flagged 81% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- drug hypersensitivity18 reports
- nausea7 reports
- somnolence7 reports
- depressed level of consciousness6 reports
- fatigue6 reports
- headache6 reports
- musculoskeletal stiffness6 reports
- tachycardia6 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean Procaine Hydrochloride caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.
