EMLA Cream 5%

 
Maximum Quantity Allowed:
£

As a local anaesthetic, Emla Cream is applied topically. Local anaesthetics help in numbing an area, minimising its ability to feel a sensation. It comprises two active ingredients, these are Prilocaine and Lidocaine. Emla Cream has various uses, among them acting as a prescription to help men who are suffering from premature ejaculation.

Description

Prilocaine and Lidocaine temporarily interrupt the pathway of signals on the nerves. By making it hard for specific chemicals to enter the nerve endings at the application site, Emla Cream prevents some signals from passing along the nerve fibres. In the end, the brain doesn�t get these signals and hence cannot regard them as sensations.

Warnings

Avoid using EMLA Cream if:

  • You have anaemia
  • You suffer from a rare inherited illness that interferes with the blood called �glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency'.
  • You have an issue with the levels of blood pigment known as �methaemoglobinaemia�.
  • You have �atopic dermatitis', a type of skin condition. This is due to the cream being applied to the skin for a shorter period.

Directions

It's worth noting that the Patient Information Leaflet that comes with this product gives instructions on other uses of Emla Cream. So, DON'T follow those instructions, instead:

  • Pull back the foreskin of the penis and apply a pea-sized amount of Emla cream to the lower section of its neck and head.
  • Leave it for 15 � 30 minutes for the cream to take effect before having sex.
  • Make sure you get rid of all the cream prior to having sex as it can get to your partner and affect their sensitivity as well.
