Onlinelidocaine: The
Inception and Uses of Benzocaine

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.
Benzocaine topical is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by minor skin irritations, sore throat, sunburn, teething pain, vaginal or rectal irritation, ingrown toenails, hemorrhoids, and many other sources of minor pain on a surface of the body. Benzocaine is also used to numb the skin or surfaces inside the mouth, nose, throat, vagina, or rectum to lessen the pain of inserting a medical instrument such as a tube or speculum.
It is mostly used as a pain reliever. You may also see its use in cough drops. The benzocaine powder is an essential ingredient in several over the counter anesthetic ointments. The product for oral ulcers is one good example where benzocaine is an active ingredient. Benzocaine when combined with antipyrine forms A/B Otic Drops. These drops are usually used to treat ear pains and to remove earwax.
