Dibucaine is also commonly sold as an ointment to relieve the itching, pain, and discomfort of hemorrhoids. In addition, Dibucaine is commonly found in over-the-counter combination suppositories or creams that relieve the pain of hemorrhoids. These mixture products may also include an antibiotic (neomycin or framycetin) or a steroid to reduce swelling (hydrocortisone acetate).
