Abstract
Procaine chloride, which was a common cause of allergic reactions in earlier years, has lost importance as a contact allergen because its use for local anaesthesia has ceased. Recently, we have seen hypersensitivity reactions in three patients after the use of Gerovital®, which is known to contain procaine chloride. A word of warning is warranted against indiscriminate use of Gerovital, particularly of its topical preparations.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
