What is Benzocaine?

In Malaysia, you can find Benzocaine commonly in products such as the lozenges that numb your sore throat, dental sprays and gels that reduce the pain of toothaches or dental procedures.

For the treatment of PE, Benzocaine is also used in creams, gels, sprays and wipes that slightly numb the penis to prevent PE. However, Benzocaine-based products for PE are pretty uncommon in Malaysia’s market.

What you might be more familiar with would be Durex condoms. Have you ever felt that tingling sensation after using a Durex condom? That’s because some Durex condoms like Durex Mutual Climax and Durex Performa are made with a patented lubricant containing Benzocaine 5% to help you last longer.
