Directions and essential limits
Adults and children 12 years or older: wash hands, remove the cap and cut off the dispenser tip. Use a clean finger or cotton swab to apply a small, pea-sized amount to the affected area. Use up to four times daily or as directed by a dentist or doctor.

A warning to know before use
Benzocaine may cause methemoglobinemia, a serious condition that reduces the oxygen carried in the blood, even after previous use. Stop use and seek medical attention immediately for pale, gray or blue skin, headache, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, dizziness or fatigue.
Before use, read the complete package warnings about allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, persistent symptoms and overdose, also organized in the linked warning guide.
