Benzocaine Compounded Topicals

Targeted Benzocaine Relief for Pain, Itching, and Irritation

Benzocaine is a fast-acting local anesthetic used to numb tissue and relieve discomfort associated with skin irritations, sore throats, dental procedures, and more. At King’s Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we provide customized benzocaine formulations to meet your unique needs—whether for oral, topical, or mucosal use.

What Is Benzocaine?

Benzocaine works by blocking nerve signals in the body, delivering rapid relief from pain, itching, or burning sensations. It is frequently used for conditions involving the skin, gums, or mucous membranes and is especially useful for short-term relief in localized areas.

Common Uses for Benzocaine

  • Mouth and gum pain (e.g., canker sores, toothaches, braces irritation)
  • Sore throat lozenges or sprays
  • Hemorrhoids and anorectal discomfort
  • Minor burns, insect bites, or skin rashes
  • Vaginal or rectal irritation
  • Ear pain (often in compounded otic drops)

Why Compounding Matters for Benzocaine

Standard over-the-counter benzocaine products come in limited strengths and forms. At King’s Pharmacy, we tailor each preparation to fit your precise needs, including:

  • Custom-strength topical creams or gels
  • Lozenges and troches for oral pain
  • Suppositories for rectal or vaginal discomfort
  • Multi-ingredient compounds (e.g., lidocaine-benzocaine blends) for enhanced relief

Who Benefits from Compounded Benzocaine?

  • Pediatric patients needing lower-strength formulations
  • Adults requiring stronger concentrations or specific applications
  • Individuals with allergies or sensitivities to commercial additives
  • Patients who require pain relief in hard-to-reach or mucosal areas
