On the toxicity of procaine for pigs.
Procaine caused respiratory arrest in halothane-anaesthetized normal Landrace pigs at a dose of 4,2 - 8,2 mg/kg. In some cases death due to respiratory failure occurred after giving 10 - 13 mg/kg. Because of its toxicity in pigs procaine is unsuitable for treating the porcine malignant hyperthermia syndrome.
