EMLA 5% Cream is a topical anesthetic containing lidocaine and prilocaine, designed to provide temporary numbing of the skin before medical procedures. Each package contains 5 tubes of 5g cream and comes with an occlusive dressing for optimal application. The cream contains 5% active ingredients (2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine) in an oil-in-water emulsion. When applied correctly, it creates a reliable numbing effect by blocking nerve signals in the application area. The cream appears white in color and has a smooth consistency. For best results, it should be applied 1-2 hours before the intended procedure and covered with the provided occlusive dressing. This medical product is manufactured by Aspen and should be stored at room temperature in its original packaging.
