Tetracaine HCL Applications
Tetracaine, also known as amethocaine, is a local anesthetic used to numb the eyes, nose, or throat. It may also be used before starting an intravenous to decrease pain from the procedure. Typically it is applied as a liquid to the area. Onset of effects when used in the eyes is within 30 seconds and last for less than 15 minutes.
Common side effects include a brief period of burning at the site of use. Allergic reactions may uncommonly occur. Long term use is generally not recommended as it may slow healing of the eye. It is unclear if use during pregnancy is safe for the baby. Tetracaine is in the ester-type local anesthetic family of medications. It works by blocking the sending of nerve impulses.
Tetracaine was patented in 1930 and came into medical use in 1941. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.
What is the difference between the anesthetic intensity of tetracaine hydrochloride powder and lidocaine, procaine and Dimetho?
Key Comparison (Local Anesthetics Role Intensity):
Tetracaine base > tetracaine hcl > lidocaine > lidcaine hcl > benzocaine > procaine > procaine hcl, but the corresponding side effects will also increase.
It's not that the greater the intensity of anesthesia, the better, unless you want to suffer from more side effects. Generally choose the one that suits you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the purity standard of your Tetracaine?
Our Tetracaine conforms strictly to the USP 32 standard. It features an assay purity of 98.0% - 101.0%, with our actual test results reaching a verified 100.1% purity.
Q
How does Tetracaine compare to Lidocaine and Procaine in terms of strength?
In local anesthetics, the anesthetic intensity ranks as follows: Tetracaine base > Tetracaine HCl > Lidocaine > Lidocaine HCl > Benzocaine > Procaine > Procaine HCl. While Tetracaine is highly potent, side effects also scale with intensity.
Q
What are the primary applications of Tetracaine?
Tetracaine (amethocaine) is mainly utilized as a local anesthetic to numb areas such as the eyes, nose, or throat, and is frequently applied before starting intravenous procedures to reduce localized pain.
Q
How fast does Tetracaine take effect and how long does it last?
When applied as a liquid to the eye area, the onset of action is extremely rapid, taking effect within 30 seconds, and the numbing duration typically lasts for up to 15 minutes.
Q
Are there any recommended precautions for Tetracaine use?
Yes, long-term use is generally not recommended as it may slow the healing process of the eye. Common side effects can include a brief burning sensation at the application site. Always choose the anesthetic profile that best matches your specific procedural requirements.
