Best Answer

Triocaine, which is a combination of lidocaine, benzocaine, and tetracaine, is only similar to cocaine in name alone. The reason for the similarity is that these chemicals were developed as an alternative to novocaine, which was so-named because it was a replacement for cocaine as an anesthetic, as such the suffix -caine has come to be used to indicate any synthetic anesthetic. Other than the name similarity, they are not chemically related and will not be confused on any drug tests.
