EMLA 5% Cream 5x5g
Emla Cream is a topical anesthetic that contains two active ingredients, lidocaine and prilocaine. These substances belong to the group of medicines known as local anesthetics. Emla Cream works by numbing the surface of the skin temporarily. When applied to the skin, it helps to reduce or eliminate the sensation of pain during medical procedures such as minor skin surgeries, needle insertion, or laser treatments. It does this by blocking the nerve signals in the skin, preventing them from transmitting pain sensations to the brain. It's important to note that while Emla Cream effectively reduces pain, it typically does not completely eliminate other sensations such as pressure or touch. Therefore, you might still feel these sensations during procedures even when using Emla Cream. Emla Cream is widely used and considered safe when used as directed by healthcare professionals. It is commonly applied under a dressing for about 1 to 2 hours before the procedure to allow sufficient time for the numbing effect to take place.
