Cinchocaine, also known as dibucaine, is a local anesthetic used together with a corticosteroid to help with the symptoms of hemorrhoids and pruritus ani.[3] It may also be used for minor burns and insect bites.[4] It is applied to the area affected.[3]

Common side effects include rash and skin irritation.[4] Other side effects may include anaphylaxis.[4] It is an amide.[2] It is one of the stronger but also more toxic local anesthetics.[2]

Cinchocaine was first made in 1929.[1] It is available over the counter and as a generic medication.[4][5] In the United States a 30 gram tube costs about 5 USD as of 2021.[5] In the United Kingdom a version which includes a steroid costs about £6.[3]

Medical use

Cinchocaine is the active ingredient in some topical hemorrhoid creams such as Proctosedyl.[6] It is also a component of the veterinary drug Somulose, used for euthanasia of horses and cattle.

Physical properties

Cinchocaine is relatively insoluble in alkaline aqueous solutions.
