Cetacaine® Prescription Topical Anesthetic Spray Now Available in a Single-Patient Package


Cetylite® is pleased to announce that Cetacaine® topical anesthetic spray is now available in a single-patient package. The new single-patient spray virtually eliminates the threat of cross-contamination sometimes caused by multiple patient usages. Moreover, Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) inclusion enhances accuracy, averts medication errors, and improves efficiency.

The only prescription topical anesthetic spray indicated for gag reflex suppression, Cetacaine is formulated with three active ingredients (Benzocaine 14.0%, Butamben 2.0%, and Tetracaine Hydrochloride 2.0%) to deliver a precise spray that alleviates pain and discomfort while providing optimal safety. The spray is designed for use in surgical and endoscopic procedures in the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, esophagus, ear, nose, and mouth. When feasible, the spray can also be utilized for vaginal and rectal procedures. Cetacaine features a rapid onset of only 30 seconds, and lasts for up to 60 minutes to offer an ideal choice for practices looking for an anesthetic that wrks immediately and has the duration to last throughout the entire procedure.



The single-patient package remains identical to the traditional multi-patient 20g spray formulation with only the labeling, size, and NDC numbers differing. "Cetylite is committed to being receptive to the needs of our customers, which is why this product nuance was developed," stated Anthony Moreira, Business Development Manager of Cetylite Inc. "The single-patient package yields top-of-the-line simplicity, and convenience for the benefit of our loyal customers, while remaining the same trusted formula they have relied upon for over 60 years."
