Pramocaine, also known as pramoxine, is a medication used to improve pain and itching such as occurs in hemorrhoids or insect bites.[1][2] It is applied to the skin.[1] There are versions that come mixed with corticosteroids.[1]
Common side effects include burning at the site of application.[1] Other side effects may include allergic reactions, though it is generally safe even if someone has reactions to other local anesthetics.[1] It works by stabilizing the cell membrane of neurons.[1]
Pramocaine was described in 1953.[3] It is available over the counter.[1] In the United States a bottle costs about 5 USD as of 2021.[4]
