pontocaine ointment

I've been looking for pontocain ointment but can't find it any more. Is it still on the market or has it possibly been discontinued? (if it was discontinued or taken off the market, why? It was such a good product.) If no longer available, are there any substitute products. It was a combination tetracaine and menthol. Very soothing after episiotomy. It was topical ... external use only.
