Cinchocaine (also known as dibucaine) is an amide-type local anesthetic drug that is used primarily for surface and spinal anesthesia. It is potent and long-acting, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged anesthesia, including topical applications in some ointments for anorectal conditions. Cinchocaine is not widely used or approved in all countries today due to the availability of safer alternatives and its risk of systemic toxicity.
