Please help! what is the difference between topical lidocaine 1%cream or gel and topical dibucaine 1% ointment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amides: Both Lidocaine and dibucaine bong to the same family of local anesthetics and both can be effective as a topical anesthetic but only Lidocaine can be given by intranous route as dibuvacaine is is most potent and toxic of the local anesthetics.
