Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a compounded vaginal suppository containing Benzocaine 400 mg, Lidocaine 120 mg, and Tetracaine 80 mg. These are all local anesthetics that work by blocking nerve signals in your body, thereby reducing pain or discomfort. The suppository is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. This allows for local or systemic absorption of the drugs.

The combination of these three anesthetics provides a potent and effective treatment for a variety of conditions. It can be used to manage pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as vulvodynia, vestibulodynia, dyspareunia (painful intercourse), and post-surgical pain. It may also be used in the management of symptoms related to menopause, such as vaginal dryness and irritation.

As a compounded medication, this formulation can be customized to meet the specific needs of individual patients. This includes adjusting the dosage of each active ingredient, as well as the overall size and shape of the suppository. This allows for a more personalized approach to treatment, which can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide significant relief from pain and discomfort, it does not treat the underlying cause of these symptoms. Therefore, it should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include other medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.

Patients using this formulation should follow their healthcare provider's instructions closely. The suppository should be inserted into the vagina as directed, typically once or twice a day. Some patients may experience temporary side effects such as mild burning or itching at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience severe side effects such as severe burning, stinging, or rash, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Prescribers considering this formulation for their patients should be aware of potential drug interactions. Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine can interact with certain other medications, including some types of antiarrhythmics and other local anesthetics. Therefore, a thorough review of the patient's medication history is essential before prescribing this formulation.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The formulation of Benzocaine 400 mg/Lidocaine 120 mg/Tetracaine 80 mg Vaginal Suppository is a combination of three local anesthetics. These medications work by blocking nerve signals in your body, causing temporary numbness or loss of sensation in the area where the suppository is applied. This formulation is typically used to relieve pain or discomfort caused by conditions such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or procedures on the vagina or rectum.

It's important to be aware of potential drug interactions when using this formulation. Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine can interact with certain other medications, potentially affecting how they work or increasing the risk of side effects.

These local anesthetics can interact with antiarrhythmic drugs (used to treat irregular heart rhythms), such as mexiletine and amiodarone. This interaction can increase the risk of serious side effects, including heart problems. If you're taking any antiarrhythmic drugs, it's important to inform your healthcare provider before using this formulation.

Other medications that may interact with this formulation include certain antibiotics (such as erythromycin and ciprofloxacin), antifungal medications (such as itraconazole and ketoconazole), and certain antidepressants (such as fluoxetine and paroxetine). These medications can increase the levels of the local anesthetics in your body, potentially leading to increased side effects.

It's also important to note that using this formulation with other local anesthetics can increase the risk of serious side effects, including slow or irregular heartbeat, dizziness, and seizures. Therefore, it's important to inform your healthcare provider if you're using any other local anesthetics.

Furthermore, this formulation can interact with certain herbal products, such as St. John's wort, as well as certain dietary supplements, such as magnesium and calcium. These products can affect how the local anesthetics are metabolized in your body, potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

It's important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications, herbal products, and dietary supplements you're currently taking before using this formulation. This will help ensure that the formulation is safe and effective for you.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Benzocaine 400 mg/Lidocaine 120 mg/Tetracaine 80 mg Vaginal Suppository is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. This formulation is designed for local or systemic absorption, depending on the specific needs of the patient.

The active ingredients in this formulation are Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and Tetracaine. These are all local anesthetics that work by blocking nerve signals in your body. They numb the area and prevent pain signals from being sent to the brain, providing temporary relief from discomfort or pain.

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that is often 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 the surface of the body. It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.

Lidocaine is also a local anesthetic. It works by causing temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. This means that it helps to reduce the discomfort or pain of insertions into the vagina.

Tetracaine is another type of local anesthetic. It works by blocking nerve signals in your body. Tetracaine topical (for the skin) is used to numb different parts of the body before a medical test or procedure.

When combined in a suppository form, these three anesthetics can provide significant relief from discomfort or pain associated with conditions such as vaginal or rectal irritation, hemorrhoids, and other similar conditions. The suppository is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves and allows the medication to be absorbed directly into the area that needs treatment.

It's important to note that while this formulation can provide temporary relief from symptoms, it does not treat the underlying cause of the discomfort or pain. Therefore, it's important to discuss your symptoms with your healthcare provider to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you would like more information about how it can be used to treat specific conditions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.
