Overview Of Benzocaine
Precautions To Remember

Before using the medication, patients should let their doctor know if they have had an allergic reaction to it or any other '-caine' medications in the past. Patients must also give their doctor a complete medical history. Doctors need to know if their patient has any history of infection in the affected body part, breathing issues, certain blood-related issues, or heart disease. If the medication is being used before a surgical procedure, patients should inform their dentist or doctor about all of their current medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
There may be some risk when using this medication during pregnancy, so experts recommend using it only when it is seriously needed.
