Benzocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.
Benzocaine topical is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by minor skin irritations, sore throat, sunburn, teething pain, vaginal or rectal irritation, ingrown toenails, hemorrhoids, and many other sources of minor pain on a surface of the body. Benzocaine is also used to numb the skin or surfaces inside the mouth, nose, throat, vagina, or rectum to lessen the pain of inserting a medical instrument such as a tube or speculum.
There are many brands and forms of benzocaine topical available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Benzocaine topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
There are many brands and forms of benzocaine topical available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia may occur within minutes or up to 2 hours after using benzocaine topical in the mouth or throat. GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS: headache, tired feeling, confusion, fast heart rate, and feeling light-headed or short of breath, with a pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.
Use the smallest amount of this medication needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of benzocaine topical, or cover treated skin areas with a bandage or plastic wrap without medical advice. Be aware that many cosmetic procedures are performed without a medical doctor present.
Before using benzocaine topical, tell your doctor if you have any type of inherited enzyme deficiency, heart disease, a breathing disorder such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, or if you smoke.
If you are treating a sore throat, call your doctor if the pain is severe or lasts longer than 2 days, especially if you also develop a fever, headache, skin rash, swelling, nausea, vomiting, cough, or breathing problems.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other breathing disorder;
heart disease;
a personal or family history of methemoglobinemia, or any genetic (inherited) enzyme deficiency; or
if you smoke.
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Use the smallest amount of medicine needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of benzocaine topical, or cover treated skin areas with a bandage or plastic wrap without medical advice. Be aware that many cosmetic procedures are performed without a medical doctor present.
This medication comes with instructions for safe and effective application. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
To treat minor skin conditions, apply a thin layer of benzocaine topical to the affected area up to 4 times per day. If using the spray, hold the container 6 to 12 inches away from the skin. Do not spray this medication onto your face. Spray it instead on your hands and then rub it onto the face, avoiding contact with your eyes.
To treat hemorrhoids, clean the area with soap and water before applying benzocaine topical. Apply the medication up to 6 times per day. If you are using the rectal suppository, try to empty your bowel and bladder before inserting the suppository. Remove the outer wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse within the first 7 days of using benzocaine topical. Also call your doctor if your symptoms had cleared up but then came back.
If you are treating a sore throat, call your doctor if the pain is severe or lasts longer than 2 days, especially if you also develop a fever, headache, skin rash, swelling, nausea, vomiting, cough, or breathing problems.
Since benzocaine topical is used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Avoid eating within 1 hour after using benzocaine topical on your gums or inside your mouth.
Do not apply other medications to the same affected areas you treat with benzocaine topical, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
Signs and symptoms may occur within minutes or up to 2 hours after using benzocaine topical in the mouth or throat. GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE:
headache, tired feeling, confusion;
fast heart rate;
feeling light-headed or short of breath; and
pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.
headache, weakness, dizziness, breathing problems, fast heart rate, and gray or bluish colored skin (rare but serious side effects of benzocaine);
severe burning, stinging, or sensitivity where the medicine is applied;

oozing, blistering, or any signs of infection.
Less serious side effects may include:
mild stinging, burning, or itching where the medicine is applied;

dry white flakes where the medicine was applied.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied benzocaine topical. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.

Generic Name: diphtheria and tetanus vaccines (DT, pediatric) (DIF thee ree ah and TET ah nus)
Brand names: Diphtheria-Tetanus Toxoids, Pediatric, Diphtheria-Tetanus Toxoids, Pediatric (obsolete)
Diphtheria and tetanus are serious diseases caused by bacteria. Diphtheria is spread from person to person. Tetanus enters the body through cuts or wounds. Vaccines for these diseases expose the individual to a small amount of the bacteria (or to a protein from the bacteria) and cause the body to develop immunity to the disease.
Diphtheria causes a thick coating in the nose, throat, and airway. It can lead to breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, and even death.
Tetanus (Lockjaw) causes painful tightening of the muscles, usually all over the body. It can lead to "locking" of the jaw so the victim cannot open his mouth or swallow. Tetanus leads to death in about 1 out of 10 cases.
Diphtheria and tetanus vaccine (DT) can help prevent these diseases. DT is made for children younger than 7 years of age who cannot receive diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP or DTaP) vaccine. Children younger than 7 years of age who have not gotten at least 3 doses of any tetanus and diphtheria vaccine (DTP, DTaP, DT, others) during their lifetime should do so using DT. After a child gets the third dose, a Td (a form diphtheria and tetanus vaccine for people 7 years of age and older) booster dose is needed every 10 years all through life. Many more people would get these diseases if vaccination did not occur.
Children with minor illnesses, such as a cold, may be vaccinated. Those who are moderately or severely ill should usually wait until they recover before getting DT vaccine.
Before receiving DT vaccine, talk to your doctor if your child:
has HIV or AIDS or another disease that affects the immune system;
is taking a medication that affects the immune system (e.g. steroids, anti-rejection medications);
has cancer; or
is receiving cancer treatment with x-rays, radiation, or medication.
Ask your healthcare provider for more information. DT vaccine may not be recommended in some cases.
Children with minor illnesses, such as a cold, may be vaccinated. Those who are moderately or severely ill should usually wait until they recover before getting DT vaccine.
Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will administer the diphtheria and tetanus vaccines as an injection.
DT is made for children younger than 7 years of age. Children who have not gotten at least 3 doses of any tetanus and diphtheria vaccine (DTP, DTaP, DT, others) during their lifetime should do so using DT. After a child gets the third dose, a Td (a form diphtheria and tetanus vaccine for people 7 years of age and older) booster dose is needed every 10 years all through life.
DT may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
Your doctor may recommend reducing pain or soreness from the injection by taking an aspirin-free pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, Tempra, others) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, others) when the shot is given and for the next 24-48 hours. Your healthcare provider can tell you the appropriate dosages of these medications.
Contact your doctor if a dose of DT vaccine is missed.
An overdose of DT vaccine is unlikely to occur.
There are no restrictions on food, beverages, or activity before or after receiving the DT vaccine.

deep, aching pain and muscle wasting in the upper arm(s) starting 2 days to 4 weeks after the shot, and lasting up to many months.
Other less serious side effects, such as soreness redness, or swelling where the shot was given, may be more likely to occur. These side effects usually start within hours to a day or two after vaccination. They may last 1-2 days. Your doctor may recommend reducing pain or soreness from the injection by taking an aspirin-free pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, Tempra, others) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, others) when the shot is given and for the next 24-48 hours.
