Dibucaine topical "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 "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."

"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 "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."
