The generic product that matches Bepreve’s formulation is simply a lidocaine‑benzocaine gel—usually labeled “2 % lidocaine + 5 % benzocaine” or “lidocaine‑benzocaine topical gel.” The same dosage, application instructions, and safety profile apply to the generic.

Key points for the generic:
- Same active ingredients in the same concentrations.
- Similar packaging (often a 1 oz tube).
- Cost‑effective compared to the brand.
- Use, dosage, precautions, and side‑effects are identical to Bepreve.

If you’re considering switching to the generic, check with your dentist or pharmacist for any packaging or formulation differences (e.g., preservatives) and confirm that the generic meets the same FDA approval criteria.
