Emla Cream 5% (5g Tube): Emla cream is an easy to use, topical numbing cream which helps ease the pain of needles. You can apply Emla cream at home, one hour prior to injection, to help reduce pain making it less distressing for you or your child when visiting a doctor. Emla cream is suitable for use from full-term birth, with babies, children and adults.
Emla cream can be useful in numbing areas for procedures such as:
- Childhood immunisations
- Vaccinations
- Blood Tests & Blood Donations
- Minor Skin Conditions; e.g. Wart or Mole removal
- Piercings
- Tattoo's & Tattoo Removal
- Aesthetic Beauty Procedures; e.g. Botox, Dermal Fillers, Laser Hair Removal
More information about Emla and guidance on how to use:
Emla numbing cream comes as a 5g tube.
This should be applied to the area you want to numb in a thick layer (do not rub in). Cover the cream with one of the occlusive dressings included in the pack and numbing can be achieved 60 minutes later. The application time and dose may differ depending on age, body area and procedure. Remove the dressing prior to procedure.
As with all medicines, make sure you read the leaflet before using Emla.
Emla's Uses:
Emla numbing cream can be a real help for you and other family members for vaccinations, blood tests & blood donations, piercing, minor skin procedures and some aesthetic beauty procedures.
Benefits of using Emla with an occlusive dressing (Search for Tegaderm Dressing on our website):
- The dressing is waterproof and water tight.
- Keeps the cream in one place.
- Aids absorption of Emla cream into skin.
- Practical & convenient.
Let Emla cream help you and your baby through those first vaccinations.
Childhood vaccinations can be traumatic for both mum and baby. Despite your best efforts to soothe, and the nurse being as quick as she can, even the bravest of children can get very upset. Fortunately there's Emla numbing cream. This topical anaesthetic cream contains lidocaine and prilocaine a tried and tested formula which can help numb needle pain.
Simply apply approximately 2g (half a tube) 60 minutes before the procedure and cover it with an occlusive dressing. The application time and dose may differ depending on age, body area and procedure (dosage information can be found in the pack leaflet). Remove the dressing prior to procedure. Then when it’s time for the jabs you can stay calm, knowing you have done what you can to help ease your little ones’ discomfort.
Where to apply Emla
Emla cream needs to be applied to the site of the injection usually the upper arm or thigh. Generally speaking, babies under 12 months have their injections in the thigh and older children in the arm. To ensure you apply Emla in the correct area, contact your Practice Nurse and ask where she normally injects that particular vaccine. Always tell your Practice Nurse that you have applied numbing cream in a particular area so they know where to insert the needle.
