Benzocaine

Product Overview

Benzocaine is a widely used local anesthetic of the ester class, primarily employed for topical anesthesia. It provides rapid numbness to skin and mucous membranes.

Benzocaine reversibly blocks sodium ion channels in neuronal cell membranes, preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. It is the active ingredient in many over-the-counter topical anesthetic products.
