No. Only hospital physicians, dentists, and veterinarians.
There are some over-the-counter topical anesthetics available to the public, but not injectables.
Short answer is no.

The answer is yes, at least for topical local anesthetics. However, local anesthetics intended for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous use require a doctor’s prescription or the equivalent in most cases.
