Description

Overview
This is a powerful numbing compound used for acute pain relief, minor surgical procedures, and painful skin conditions. It combines multiple local anesthetics and a vasoconstrictor (phenylephrine) for enhanced effects.

Mechanism of Action
• Benzocaine (20%): A surface anesthetic that blocks sodium channels to reduce pain sensation.
• Lidocaine (6%): A fast-acting local anesthetic that numbs deeper tissue.
• Phenylephrine (0.1%): A vasoconstrictor that reduces swelling and prolongs anesthesia by restricting blood flow.
• Tetracaine (4%): A long-lasting anesthetic for deep pain relief.

Benefits and Indications
• Pre-procedure numbing – Used before minor surgeries, injections, or laser treatments.
• Burns and abrasions – Provides temporary pain relief for skin injuries.
• Post-surgical pain relief – Helps manage pain from stitches or wound dressings.

Possible Side Effects
• Skin irritation – Mild redness or burning sensation.
• Systemic toxicity (if overused) – Irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or seizures.
• Allergic reactions – Swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing (rare).
