Dibucaine Hydrochloride

Dibucaine hydrochloride is classified as an amide local anesthetic. It is used topically to decrease pain or numb the skin.

Skin contact with dibucaine hydrochloride is required for it to cause a rash. Discontinuation of exposure to products containing dibucaine hydrochloride should result in improvement and/or resolution of your dermatitis. By law, all products made in the United States for topical use have the ingredients listed either on the product package or the box that contains it, so check the labeling of your skin care products for this ingredient. If there is not enough information, ask your pharmacist or retailer or contact the company directly. At work, request a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to help identify potential sources of exposure.
