Benzocaine is indicated to treat a variety of pain-related conditions. It may be used for:
1.Local anesthesia of oral and pharyngeal mucous membranes;
2.Otic Pain (earache);
Ultraviolet absorption used in cosmetics, topical anesthetics, for the wound, ulcer pain and hemorrhoids.
Benzocaine is a local anesthetic commonly used as a topical pain reliever or in cough drops. It is the active ingredient in many over-the-counter anesthetic ointments such as products for oral ulcers. It is also combined with antipyrine to form A/B otic drops to relieve ear pain and remove earwax
Benzocaine is used as a key ingredient in numerous pharmaceuticals:
Over the counter throat lozenges such as Cepacol.
Some glycerol-based ear medications for use in removing excess wax as well as relieving ear conditions such as otitis media and swimmers ear.
Some previous diet products such as Ayds.
Some condoms designed to prevent premature ejaculation. Benzocaine largely inhibits sensitivity on the penis, and can allow for an erection to be maintained longer (in a continuous act) by delaying ejaculation. Conversely, an erection will also fade faster if stimulus is interrupted.
Benzocaine mucoadhesive patches have been used in reducing orthodontic pain.
In Poland it is included, together with menthol and zinc oxide, in the liquid powder (not to be confused with the liquid face powder) used mainly after mosquito stings. Today's ready made Pudroderm was once used there as pharmaceutical compound.
