Cinchocaine

Information About Cinchocaine

Uses of Cinchocaine

Cinchocaine is indicated for topical application to provide local anesthesia, particularly in the treatment of itching and pain associated with minor skin conditions such as insect bites, minor burns, and hemorrhoids.

How Cinchocaine Works

Cinchocaine works by blocking the generation and conduction of nerve impulses, thereby producing a reversible loss of sensation in the affected area. It achieves this by inhibiting the influx of sodium ions through the nerve cell membrane, leading to the prevention of action potential propagation along the nerve fibers.

Side Effects of Cinchocaine

Common side effects may include local irritation, burning sensation, itching, or redness at the application site. In rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing may occur. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if any severe reactions manifest.
