Overview
This high-potency anesthetic compound is designed for strong and prolonged numbing effects, often used in cosmetic dermatology, dental procedures, and minor surgical interventions.

Mechanism of Action
• Benzocaine (20%): Provides surface numbing and reduces initial pain.
• Lidocaine (25%): A high-dose local anesthetic that numbs deeper tissues.
• Tetracaine (4%): A long-lasting anesthetic that ensures extended pain relief.

Benefits and Indications
• Laser and cosmetic procedures – Reduces pain from skin treatments.
• Tattooing and piercings – Applied before procedures for pain relief.
• Dental work – Used for gum numbing before injections.

Possible Side Effects
• Skin irritation – Redness, burning, or mild swelling.
• Systemic effects (if absorbed excessively) – Dizziness, irregular heart rate, or seizures.
• Methemoglobinemia (rare but serious) – A condition where blood oxygen levels drop, usually with overuse of benzocaine.
