Description:

Benzocaine is also called amino ethyl benzoate, a colorless or white orthorhombic needle-like crystals or crystalline powder. Benzocaine hydrochloride salt is the hydrochloride salt form of the local anesthetic benzocaine, with the same pharmacological effects of benzocaine and weaker effect of anesthesia than procaine. Local absorption is slow with lasting effect. It cannot be used for anesthesia as a result of not being dissolved in water. It can be used for pain relief and anti-itch. Benzocaine hydrochloride is usually made into powder or oil paste and used to heal wounds, ulcers, burns, skin abrasions and hemorrhoids.

Applications:
Benzocaine is an anaesthetic drug, mostly used for application direct to the skin. Benzocaine HCl is a salt modification of benzocaine, formed when benzocaine is complexed with hydrochloric acid. Often, drug salts have enhanced properties compared with the parent compound. For example, benzocaine hydrochloride is more water soluble than benzocaine, making it more appropriate for oral administration.
There are quite a few different uses for Benzocaine, these include:
As an ingredient in cough syrups
To treat cold sores
To treat toothache
To treat irritation from dentures
To treat earache
As a surgical local anesthetic

Benzocaine is the main local anesthesia for pain experienced in the gums, teeth and also for relieving sore throat. Apart from treating oral irritations it is also used to treat otic pain i.e. pain experienced in the ear. Moreover it is incorporated in certain surgical procedures as a local anesthesia. It comes prepared in a variety of ways such as gel, aerosol and paste for otic purposes. Benzocaine spray used to relieve pain in the throat and lining of the mouth is not applicable to children under the age of two unless prescribed by a doctor. The spray is used on patients fitting dentures on their gums to relieve pain. It is important to note that in such cases the spray should not be a long term solution to pain caused by poorly fitted dentures.
