Tetracaine is used in different parts of the body to cause numbness or loss of feeling in some patients before having a medical test or procedure.

Tetracaine belongs to a group of medicines known as topical local anesthetics. It deadens the nerve endings in the skin. Tetracaine does not cause unconsciousness as general anesthetics do when used for surgery.

Tetracaine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
