Dibucaine topical for Hemorrhoids "I have used Nupercainal for over 30 years. Some years ago, when I ran out, I bought a new tube. I found that the product was not the same. The consistency and color had changed. The ointment base makes a difference, and this has been reformulated. The distributor was Novartis, then Ducere bought the rights, and then it was sold to Dr. Reddy. The ointment base has been changed. The Novartis ointment was viscous, creamy, light yellow in color, and smelled like lanolin. It covered and stayed on top of the skin, offering good protection. It looks like the percentage of lanolin has changed. The new Ducere ointment looks and feels pretty much like petroleum jelly. It soaks into the skin faster and does not offer as long a protection time."

Dibucaine topical for Local Anesthesia "Nupercainal is #1 in our first aid kit and has been for the last 50 years! It provides instant relief from cuts, scrapes, bruises, and numbs the pain. Upon discovery, we personally named it 'MAGIC MEDICINE,' and it remains close at hand for emergencies at home, in the car, or on a trip. Smashed my finger in the car door, and while driving to the emergency for stitches, obtained PROMPT RELIEF FROM EXCRUCIATING PAIN! (Same 20% benzocaine/active 'numbing' ingredient prescribed by my doctor for an episiotomy after having a baby. Kids fall and scrape their knees or get a bee sting, and this stops the pain and tears! LOVE THIS numbing ointment! Get the word out! AWESOME PRODUCT! Any pharmacy will also special order it."

Dibucaine topical for Hemorrhoids "Used Nupercainal Hemorrhoid cream for years and years, both internally (as it once upon a time came with a rectal application tube) and externally as a topical analgesic cream. This was the ONLY (OTC) hemorrhoid medicine that gave me any cooling and soothing relief by deadening the burning and itching of hemorrhoids. Now they apparently don't make this product anymore, as the only Nupercainal Hemorrhoid product I can find marketed anywhere is only available in an ointment now. In my opinion, this replacement ointment does NOT work as well as its predecessor, the cream."

Dibucaine topical for Hemorrhoids "I wish I would have tried Nupercainal first, as I used a lot of stuff that didn't work. This stuff is incredible, and it cleared up my issue quickly. Not very well marketed, as I stumbled upon it through a forum. Nothing worked better."

For Anal Itching "After laser surgery for an anal rim fissure, I began to have excessive anal area itching for about 2 or 3 months, while using several well-known ointments and creams. The more I used them, the worse the itching seemed to get. In desperation, I went to see my V.A. primary care doctor and then the V.A. pharmacist, who prescribed this 'dibucaine ointment USP 1%' by Fougera Pharmaceuticals. Instantly, upon use, my maddeningly irritating anal itching disappeared, totally and completely! I use a little bit in and around the area after every bowel movement, and I at last have complete relief and non-recurring itching of any sort! I LOVE THIS!"

For Hemorrhoids "Hands down (no pun), the best product that I have ever found for itching and burning. Not easily found at local stores now, but I can still get it through mail order. Other local anesthetics are not worth the trouble."

Dibucaine topical for Hemorrhoids "I had hemorrhoidectomy seven days ago. I wish I had found this product sooner. I had so much pain for one week. This ointment works great."

Dibucaine topical for Burns, External "I was advised by a pharmacist to use this when I burned my finger on the stove. It was a mild burn not requiring medical attention, but it was bothersome. This needs to be in your first aid kit."
