A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Benzocaine 20%/Lidocaine 6%/Tetracaine 4% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid preparation designed for external application to the skin. It is dispensed in a tube and provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the three active ingredients for localized treatment. This ointment is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing.

The ointment contains Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 6%, and Tetracaine 4%, which work together to treat a variety of skin conditions, including itching, burning, and pain.
