EMLA 5% Cream is a topical anesthetic containing a combination of lidocaine and prilocaine. Each pack contains 5 tubes of 5g cream. This local anesthetic cream is designed to numb the skin's surface, providing temporary pain relief before minor medical procedures or treatments. The cream works by blocking nerve signals in the area where it is applied. The cream's unique formulation contains 5% of active ingredients (2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine) in an oil-in-water emulsion. When applied to the skin, it creates a reliable numbing effect that penetrates below the surface. The cream appears white in color and has a smooth consistency for easy application. Manufactured by Aspen, EMLA cream comes in a convenient 5x5g package format, making it suitable for multiple applications. The cream should be applied according to medical instructions, typically 1-2 hours before the intended procedure for optimal effectiveness. This product is intended for use under medical supervision and should be stored at room temperature in its original packaging to maintain its effectiveness.
