December 16, 2016Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.AbstractA topical anesthetic includes about 1-10% by weight lidocaine hydrochloride, about 0.01-0.10% by weight adrenaline, and about 0.25-4% by weight tetracaine hydrochloride, preferably in an aqueous base with about 2% benzyl alcohol or in a gel including about 3% hydroxyethyl cellulose. The topical anesthetic has been found to be at least as effective as TAC (tetracaine hydrochloride, adrenaline, cocaine), but with fewer harmful side effects and at a greatly reduced cost (about 1/10 of the cost of TAC).Other References
