ester local anesthetic, a class of local anesthetics with an ester chemical group that differentiates it from the amide group of local anesthetics. Ester local anesthetics include benzocaine, chloroprocaine, cocaine hydrochloride, and procaine hydrochloride and are metabolized primarily by pseudocholinesterase. Because of rapid metabolism, most ester local anesthetics have a relatively short duration of action. How to thank TFD for its existence?
