Foille is used to temporarily relieve pain and itching associated with minor burns, sunburns, cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and skin irritation. It may also be used to prevent infection in these minor skin injuries.

Foille contains benzocaine, a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in the skin to temporarily reduce sensation and pain, and benzalkonium chloride, an antiseptic agent that helps kill or inhibit certain bacteria on the skin surface.

For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Do not use on large areas of the body, deep wounds, or severe burns. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen, persist beyond 7 days, or if rash or irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
