Description

Tolycaine is a topical anesthetic that has been shown to have a skin conditioning effect. It can be used for the treatment of various skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Tolycaine is also effective in reducing the viscosity of some ointments and creams. The mechanism of action is not fully understood but it may be due to its ability to inhibit the uptake of amines or its effects on skin blood flow. Tolycaine has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on copper complex-induced erythema in humans and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. This drug is used as a local anesthetic in ophthalmic surgery and dentistry.
