Emla 25 mg/g Lidocaine + 25 mg/g Prilocaine cream is used for local analgesia. It contains the active ingredients lidocaine and prilocaine, which numb the skin surface for a short time. It is applied to the skin before medical procedures such as injections, blood draws and minor surgical procedures. For anaesthetising the genitals, it should be used by a doctor or healthcare professional. It can also be used to anaesthetise the skin before cleaning or removing damaged skin in leg ulcers. The duration of use depends on the type of procedure and should be agreed with a doctor. There are certain contraindications and possible side effects, so it is important to read the package leaflet and consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
