Abstract: The topical anesthetic formulation of the present invention is typically a solution that preferably includes lidocaine, USP as the active anesthetic ingredient with benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. This invention deals with problems commonly associated with topical application of local anesthetics such as: slow onset of action; need for occlusion; messiness of creams, ointments or gels; and rapid loss of effect due to rapid systemic dispersion. The invention permits enhanced penetration of the anesthetic and thereby allows for a lesser total dosage of pharmaceutically active ingredient. The use of a lesser total dosage also decreases systemic toxicity.
