This formulation is a compounded topical cream containing Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 4%, and Tetracaine 1%. It is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This formulation is intended for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

The combination of Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine in this formulation works synergistically to provide local anesthesia. Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine are all local anesthetics that work by blocking nerve signals in your body. They numb the skin and surrounding area, providing relief from discomfort, itching, and pain caused by a wide range of skin conditions.

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic commonly used to relieve 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 the surface of the body. Lidocaine, another local anesthetic, is used on the skin to stop itching and pain from certain skin conditions (e.g., scrapes, minor burns, eczema, insect bites) and to treat minor discomfort and itching caused by hemorrhoids and certain other problems of the genital/anal area. Tetracaine is a potent local anesthetic and is often used in ophthalmology and during minor surgical procedures.

This formulation is particularly useful in treating conditions that require localized pain relief, such as minor burns, insect bites, minor cuts or scrapes, hemorrhoids, and other minor skin irritations. It can also be used to numb the skin before certain medical procedures. The pump mechanism allows for easy and controlled application of the cream, ensuring that the right amount of medication is applied to the affected area.

It is important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid contact with the eyes, and do not use on large areas of skin unless directed by a doctor. Also, do not use this medication for longer than prescribed or more frequently than recommended, as this can increase the risk of serious side effects.

While this formulation is generally safe for most patients, there are potential drug interactions that both patients and prescribers should be aware of. These interactions can alter how the medication works or increase the risk for serious side effects.

Patients who are currently taking other local anesthetics or medications that are similar to Benzocaine, Lidocaine, or Tetracaine should inform their healthcare provider. Concurrent use of these medications may increase the risk of serious side effects such as slow or irregular heartbeat, severe drowsiness, or breathing problems.

Additionally, certain medications such as antiarrhythmics (like amiodarone or quinidine), beta-blockers (like metoprolol or atenolol), cimetidine, or certain antidepressants (like fluoxetine or paroxetine) may interact with this formulation. These medications can affect the removal of Lidocaine from your body, which may affect how Lidocaine works.

It's also important to note that this formulation can interact with certain laboratory tests (including certain blood glucose tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your healthcare providers know you use this drug.

Patients should not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without their doctor's approval. A product that may interact with this drug is: certain drugs used to treat seizures (such as phenytoin).

While using this medication, do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice unless your doctor or pharmacist says you may do so safely. Grapefruit can increase the chance of side effects with this medicine.

Remember that your healthcare provider has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

The Benzocaine 20%/Lidocaine 4%/Tetracaine 1% Topical Cream is a compounded medication that combines three powerful local anesthetics. This formulation is designed to provide relief from pain and discomfort on the skin's surface. It is dispensed in a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application.

Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine are all local anesthetics that work by blocking nerve signals in your body. They numb the skin and surrounding area, providing relief from pain or discomfort. The combination of these three anesthetics in one cream enhances the numbing effect, providing more effective pain relief.

Benzocaine is a surface anesthetic that numbs the skin quickly but has a short duration of action. Lidocaine, on the other hand, is a medium-acting anesthetic that provides a deeper level of numbness. Tetracaine is a long-acting anesthetic that prolongs the numbing effect. The combination of these three anesthetics provides a rapid onset of action and a prolonged duration of effect, making this cream an effective solution for pain relief.

This formulation is used to treat a variety of disease states that cause pain or discomfort on the skin's surface. It can be used to relieve pain from minor cuts, burns, and abrasions. It can also be used to numb the skin before procedures such as needle insertion, skin biopsies, or minor skin surgeries. Furthermore, it can be used to treat conditions such as anal fissures and hemorrhoids, providing relief from the pain and discomfort associated with these conditions.

It's important to note that while this cream provides effective pain relief, it does not treat the underlying cause of the pain. Therefore, it should be used in conjunction with other treatments as recommended by your healthcare provider.

As with any medication, it's important to use this cream as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid applying it to broken skin or mucous membranes, and do not use it if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. If you experience any side effects such as redness, swelling, or rash, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider.

The combination of Benzocaine 20%/Lidocaine 4%/Tetracaine 1% in a topical cream formulation is primarily used as a local anesthetic. With its unique formulation, this cream can be repurposed and applied in various clinical situations beyond its known uses. The cream's numbing effect makes it a suitable candidate for alleviating discomfort in procedures and conditions other than those directly related to dermatological issues.

For instance, the cream can be used for pain control during minor surgical procedures, dental treatments, endoscopies, or skin irritations from poison ivy, poison oak or minor burns. These situations require localized analgesia, and this cream offers the convenience and effectiveness of providing this without the need for injections. In some scenarios, it can also be considered for use in painful conditions such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and localized discomfort stemming from bedsores or skin grafts.

Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine are each local anesthetics that belong to different classes, each with their unique onset and duration of action. By combining these anesthetics in one topical preparation, you get a formulation that provides a rapid but also prolonged analgesic effect, making it highly versatile for a range of discomfort-related issues. Still, due to the potential for systemic absorption, the cream should be applied sparingly and always under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Last but not least, this topical cream may be utilized as a pre-treatment in laser hair removal, tattoos, and piercing procedures. Such treatments generally result in mild to moderate discomfort. Topical anesthetics are commonly used to reduce this discomfort and make the procedure tolerable. However, it should be applied only under the guidance and supervision of a clinician, as the cream can risk serious side effects if misused.

As a reminder, it's important to use this formulation as guided by your medical professional, adhere strictly to the dosage instructions, and never exceed the recommended dose. Even though it can be obtained from pharmacies, it is not meant for self-diagnosis or self-treatment.
