Nothing to add here. Tetracaine does not fall under any of our references, and no single-ingredient supplement makes credible sense as a complement. Rather than placing a product on principle, we leave this page without a purchase recommendation. If you are otherwise taking a statin, an antidiabetic, a PPI, a contraceptive or a beta-blocker, that is where we can be useful.
