What it is
A triple-anaesthetic numbing cream (benzocaine, lidocaine and tetracaine) applied before cosmetic and minor skin procedures to reduce discomfort. This is a high-strength preparation — it is prescribed after a consultation, with clear instructions on how much to apply and over what area, because misuse can be harmful.
How it is supplied
Supplied as benzocaine 10% / lidocaine 6% / tetracaine 4%, 50g, topical (skin). Every preparation is compounded for you by name, on prescription, by a SAHPRA-licensed South African compounding pharmacy — not imported research-grade material bought online.

Common questions
Do I need a prescription for Numbing cream?
Yes. Numbing cream is a compounded, prescription-only preparation. It is dispensed only against a valid Swiss Medica prescription written for you by name, which follows a consultation.
