3 Reich - Full Glass of Novacaine - Procaine - Bayer
Full glass of Novacaine - (now use name Procaine ) produce by IG Farben Bayer company in Levercusen. This bottle find in old farmacy in Poland and was never open. Probably produce around 1940-1942. Procaine is a local anesthetic. Procaine, also known as novocaine, is a local anesthetic that is used in conjunction with penicillin. Originally synthesized in 1905, procaine replaced cocaine as the most widely used local anesthetic. The introduction of procaine was a key step in the development of anesthetics because it was less dangerous and more effective than its predecessors. Cocaine used as an anesthetic gave patients an unnecessary feeling of euphoria. Moreover, the risk of addiction and abuse associated with cocaine has not been shared with procaine, making it a safer option for treatment.Procaine penicillin, formally called procaine benzylpenicillin, is a combination of anesthetic and a type of penicillin. The purpose of the mixture is to reduce the pain caused by deep muscle injection. Vets use injections more than doctors because other drugs like lidocaine are more effective when used by humans. Doctors still find this combination useful for patients, especially when treating syphilis.The drug after 80 years is no longer active but ideal for a pharmacy museum or for reconstruction groups or collectors.
