I've never had a numbing medication before and am a bit nervous. How does Chloroprocaine work exactly? Is the fast onset and quick wear-off a good thing? I've heard it can have the rare but serious side effect of Methemoglobinemia. I'm anxious about that and other urgent side effects listed. Should I be worried? Also interested in hearing about anyone's experience with the other possible side effects. Does anyone know if it's safe for those with allergies to lidocaine?
