Dibucaine is used as a local anesthetic for surface anesthesia. It is one of the most potent and toxic of the long-acting local anesthetics and its parenteral use is restricted to spinal anesthesia. Dibucaine is used to temporarily relieve pain and itching due to: hemorrhoids or other anorectal disorders, sunburn, minor burns, minor cuts; scrapes, insect bites, minor skin irritation. This drug acts via blocking of nerve impulses by decreasing the neuronal membrane's permeability to sodium ions through sodium channel blocking. This reversibly stabilizes the membrane and inhibits depolarization, resulting in the failure of a propagated action potential and subsequent conduction blockade.

Sample Use Guides
If possible clean the affected area with mild soap and warm water and rinse thoroughly. Gently dry by patting or blotting with toilet tissue or a soft cloth before applying.
Adults and children 12 and over - apply externally to the affected area up to 3 to 4 times a day.
Children under 2 - 12 years of age - ask a doctor
Route of Administration:
Topical
Exposure of spinal nerves to dibucaine reduces the quantity of 3H-proteins, which is transported to a ligature by 72% at 0.5 mM and by greater than 90% at a 1 mM concentration; since 1 mM tetracaine reduces it by 64%, dibucaine is approximately twice as potent as tetracaine at inhibiting transport.
