Emla 5% Cream is a commonly used topical medication designed to numb the skin prior to various medical procedures, such as injections or minor surgical treatments. It contains two potent active ingredients, lidocaine and prilocaine, each at a 2.5% concentration, making it highly effective for temporary local anaesthesia.

Each gram of Emla 5% Cream contains:

  • Lidocaine (2.5%)
  • Prilocaine (2.5%)
Please refer to patient information leaflet.
  • Dosage: The amount of Emla Cream needed depends on the size of the area to be numbed. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate amount. Typically, a thick layer of cream is applied to the skin.
  • Application Time: The cream is typically applied to the skin at least 1-2 hours before the planned procedure. It is important to follow your GP’s instructions regarding application time.
  • Covering: In most cases, after applying Emla Cream, it should be covered with an occlusive dressing (such as plastic wrap) to enhance its effectiveness.
  • Duration: Leave the cream on the skin for the duration specified by your healthcare provider, usually until just before the procedure begins.
  • Use Emla 5% Cream strictly according to the prescribed dosage and application instructions provided by your GP. Do not exceed the recommended amount or duration.
  • Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as skin rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
  • Do not apply Emla Cream to the eyes, mucous membranes, or open wounds.
  • Emla Cream is suitable for use in children when prescribed by a healthcare provider.
  • Consult a GP before using Emla Cream if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Store the cream in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Ensure the tube cap is securely closed when not in use.
