Medicaine Sting & Bite Relief

When a bee sting, mosquito bite, or brush with poison ivy strikes, fast relief matters. The Medicaine line from Dynarex delivers targeted, on-the-spot comfort for insect bites, stings, and minor skin irritations — the kind of small emergency that shows up in first aid kits, camp infirmaries, school nurse offices, and glove boxes everywhere.

Each product pairs benzocaine 20% to numb the sting with menthol 1% to cool the itch, a combination that tackles both the pain and the maddening urge to scratch. The single-use format is what makes Medicaine especially practical: the Dynarex Medicaine Sting & Bite Ampules come as pre-saturated 6 mL swabs sealed in individual ampules, so there's no bottle to spill, no cross-contamination, and a measured dose every time. They're latex-free, which matters for sensitive skin and facility protocols alike.

Buyers usually ask a few practical questions. How do you use it? Crush the ampule to release the solution onto the built-in swab tip, then dab it directly on the affected area — no separate applicator needed. How many should I stock? Because they're single-use, count on one swab per application; kitting them by the box keeps first aid stations and travel kits ready. Is it safe for a range of settings? The topical benzocaine/menthol formula is a familiar over-the-counter approach to minor bites and stings, packaged for grab-and-go convenience.

Both the ampule swabs (item 1407) and the boxed topical swabs (item 2043) carry the same effective 20%–1% strength, so you can choose the packaging that fits how you dispense them. For broader kit-building, pair Medicaine with the rest of our First Aid supplies to keep every station stocked for the small stuff before it turns into a bigger complaint.
