Topical anesthetic effects of Beezocaine Jelly showed 74.2% and a Significant difference (P<0.05) was fond between the study and control. No toxic responses have been found from the use of Beezocaine Jelly.
The results of the study indicate that Beezocaine Jelly has been used successfully for children as a topical anesthetic agent.
