Americaine Hemorrhoidal Ointment Maximum Strength 20% Benzocaine 1 oz ( Pack of 2)

I’ve ordered this item many times that’s how well itWorks and great price

Been using for about 30 years. Great product that works as promised. Numbs pain at the site.

had to use this in the hospital what the hospital was not working

I have a number of skin conditions (cutaneous lupus, eczema, atopic dermatitis, etc) that cause pain and itching. I have a plethora of RX medications to help me cope with them. However, occasionally I have a bad month and find myself out of my RX topicals before I am eligible to fill them again. When that happens I use OTC meds. Dibucaine, Benzocaine, and Lidocaine (less than 5% is OTC Lidocaine) all work decently. Out of the OTC topicals, I like Benzocaine/Americaine the best.HOWEVER - the packaging for the Americaine needs work. A *LOT* of work.1. The top is good - easy to get on, easy to get off, and doesn't spontaneously pop off in your purse or cabinet.2. The container itself is very prone to leaks. As in, before you've even gone through half of it - just the slight movements of squeezing product from the bottom to the top of the container - is enough to start creating all kinds of holes. I don't mean one or two holes in a tube once in awhile - mean 5-7 holes in EVERY tube EVERY TIME. So while the product itself performs really well, the mess involved with getting the Americaine out of the tube and where you want it is just....exhausting. To the point where I am not sure that I can justify the time and expense next time I need to grab some kind of OTC to numb skin.Americaine is one of the few OTC products that truly performs as advertised - I love the ointment itself - but the packaging is beyond "just needs a little work" and unfortunately is verging into the "not sure I can deal with this mess again". :(

this is very good product I'm very happy with this item

I continue to buy this product frequently, because it achieves the desired effect/result with little amount and minimal application to the affected area. One tube lasts a long time!

This is the highest percentage benzocaine available OTC. For an insect bite I put a dab of this stuff on it and place a bandaid over it. Itching is gone in a minute or two. Works great

Numbs the pain itch and irritation. I remember the hospital gave me Americain when my children were born so was happy to see it here. Great product.
