Description

Benzocaine is an ester local anesthetic that acts by preventing transmission of impulses along nerve fibers and at nerve endings. Benzocaine is a benzoate ester having 4-aminobenzoic acid as the acid component and ethanol as the alcohol component. A surface anaesthetic, it is used to suppress the gag reflex, and as a lubricant and topical anaesthetic on the larynx, mouth, nasal cavity, respiratory tract, oesophagus, rectum, urinary tract, and vagina. It has a role as a topical anaesthetic, an antipruritic drug, an allergen and a sensitiser. It is a benzoate ester and a substituted aniline.

Lidocaine is a local anesthetic widely used to provide temporary pain relief by blocking nerve signals in the body. It works by inhibiting sodium channels, which prevents the generation and propagation of action potentials in nerve fibers. Lidocaine is commonly administered in medical settings for procedures such as dental work, minor surgeries, and to relieve pain from conditions like postherpetic neuralgia. It can be found in various forms including topical gels, injections, and patches.

Tetracaine is a local anesthetic agent used to produce temporary loss of sensation in specific areas of the body. It works by blocking nerve signals in the affected area. Tetracaine is often used in dermatological procedures, as an anesthetic for mucosal surfaces, and during certain surgical procedures. It can be administered topically or through injection and is known for its effectiveness and relatively long duration of action compared to other local anesthetics. Side effects may include allergic reactions, local irritation, or systemic toxicity if absorbed into the bloodstream.
