Emla Cream 5mg

Feel Pain-Free with Emla Cream 5mg

The 5 mg Emla Cream 5mg is used to prevent pain on normal skin. It is also applied to the genital area before some medical procedures. Some of these procedures involve the insertion of a needle, skin laser surgery or skin grafts. The cream temporarily numbs the skin and the nearby area. But, applying the cream to the ear must be avoided.

Sometimes it might not be sufficient so it is used just for numbing before giving a lidocaine injection. This step helps one get pain relief for some procedures like genital warts removal treatment.

Emla Cream has Prilocaine and Lidocaine. It comes at a reasonable price.

The Working of Emla Cream

The cream blocks the body’s nerve signals and helps numb the normal skin or the membrane around the vagina or penis. This helps reduce the pain of some procedures. If you use this cream, follow the doctor’s instructions.

Ways to Use Emla Cream

Follow the suggestions given by the doctor to use the cream. Do not use the cream in more amounts than recommended. You may have to apply the cream at home at least 4 hours before the procedure takes place.

The doctor will provide you with all the instructions that you need to follow. Do not leave it longer on your skin than recommended. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss them with the doctor.

Only use the smallest amount of the Emla Cream 5mg. If the body absorbs more than the required amount of medicine, it can be a risk. You can use it over large areas of the skin or cover the treated areas with a bandage before applying as cuts or sensitive skin may absorb more of the medicine.

Precautions Before Using Emla Cream

Before using the medicine, make sure you follow the doctor’s instructions. Applying too much will result in your skin absorbing too much of the medicine that can be fatal. Symptoms of over dosage are uneven heartbeat, coma, slow breathing, seizures or respiratory failure.

Only use the smallest amount to numb the skin. Do not use large amounts and ask the doctor before deciding to cover the treated areas with bandages or anything else. If your skin is sensitive or cut, it will absorb more of the medicine. This can put you at risk. When the area is numb, avoid injury from cold or any kind of hot surface. 

Inform the doctor if you have any allergy, liver disease or any other condition.
