lidocaine \/ prilocaine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EMLA contains two active substances, lidocaine and prilocaine. They belong to the group of drugs local anesthetics (local anesthetics).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EMLA works by numbing the skin for a short time. The cream one is applied to the skin before certain medical procedures. The pain in the skin decreases but you can still feel pressure and touch.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lidocaine and prilocaine contained in EMLA may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adults, adolescents, and children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Emla cream can be used to numb the skin before:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adults<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Under supervision or as directed by a doctor or nurse, EMLA cream can also be used to numb the skin before:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using EMLA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the cream may be absorbed more easily into freshly shaved skin, it is important to follow the recommended dosage skin surface and application time. Avoid getting EMLA in your eyes as it may irritate. If you accidentally get EMLA in your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of lukewarm water or saline (sodium chloride). Be careful not to get anything in your eye until the sensation has returned. EMLA should not be used on a damaged eardrum. If you are using EMLA before being vaccinated with a live vaccine (eg tuberculosis vaccine), you should make an appointment to see your doctor or nurse check the results of your vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In infants\/newborns under 3 months of age, a temporary increase in the blood pigment methemoglobin is common for up to 12 hours after applying EMLA cream. However, this temporary increase has no significant effect on the child. Clinical studies have not been able to confirm that EMLA is effective in sampling the heel of newborns or that it provides adequate pain relief during circumcision. EMLA should not be applied to the genitals (eg on the penis) and the genital mucosa (eg in the vagina ) in children (under 12 years of age). There are insufficient data on how the active ingredients are absorbed into the body. EMLA should not be used in children under 12 months of age who are being treated concomitantly with other medicinal products that affect the amount of the blood pigment methemoglobin (eg sulphonamides, see also section 2, Other medicinal products and EMLA). EMLA should not be used in premature infants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This also applies to over-the-counter medicines and herbal medicines. Namely, EMLA can affect the way some other medicines work, and some medicines can affect how EMLA works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must tell your doctor or pharmacist if you or your child have recently taken or been treated with any of the following medicines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. Occasional use of EMLA during pregnancy is unlikely to hurt the fetus. The active substances in EMLA ( lidocaine and prilocaine) are excreted in breast milk, but in such small amounts that it generally does not pose a risk to the baby. Animal studies have not shown any deterioration in male or female fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EMLA has no or negligible effect on the ability to drive and use machines when used at recommended doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Macrogolglycerol hydroxy stearate may cause skin reactions. Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. How to use EMLA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n – Which cream to use, how much to use, and how long it should last depends on what it is to be used for. A half 5-gram tube corresponds to about 2 g of EMLA. 1 g of EMLA squeezed from a tube is about 3.5 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – EMLA should be used on the genitals only by a doctor or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – If EMLA is to be used on leg ulcers, a doctor or nurse should monitor its use. Do not use EMLA in the following areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n cuts, abrasions, or wounds, other than leg ulcers<\/p>\n\n\n\n – on the skin with rash or eczema<\/p>\n\n\n\n – in or near the eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n – inside the nose, ears, or mouth<\/p>\n\n\n\n – in the anal opening<\/p>\n\n\n\n – on the genitals of children. People who frequently apply or remove cream should avoid contact with cream one to prevent the development of hypersensitivity. Make a hole in the tube’s protective membrane by pressing the lid against the membrane. Use on the skin before small procedures (eg needle sticks or simple skin operations):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Use on the skin before small procedures (eg needle sticks or simple skin operations). Newborns and infants 0-2 months:<\/strong> up to 1 g of cream on a total area of \u200b\u200bskin no larger than 2×5 cm. Not more than once a day for 1 hour. Infants aged 3-11 months:<\/strong> up to 2 g of cream on a total area of \u200b\u200bskin no larger than 4×5 cm for 1 hour. A maximum of 2 doses at intervals of at least 12 hours can be given over a 24 hour period. Children aged 1-5 <\/strong>years:<\/strong> up to 10 g of cream on a total skin area not larger than 10×10 cm for 1 hour, but not more than 5 hours. A maximum of 2 doses at intervals of at least 12 hours can be given over a 24 hour period. Children aged 6-11 <\/strong>years:<\/strong> up to 20 g of cream on a total skin area not larger than 20×10 cm for 1 hour, but not more than 5 hours.

Children and adolescents with atopic dermatitis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Emla can be used on children and adolescents with atopic dermatitis ( atopic eczema), but then the application time is a maximum of 30 minutes Instructions for use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You must follow the instructions below when applying the cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have used more EMLA than you should or more than what your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse has told you to do, talk to one of them immediately, even if you have no symptoms. The symptoms when you have used too much EMLA are listed below. If EMLA is used according to the recommendations, it is unlikely that you will get these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In severe cases of overdose, the symptoms may be seizures, low blood pressure, slow breathing, respiratory arrest, and altered heartbeat. These reactions can be life-threatening. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g. If a child has inadvertently ingested the medicine, contact a doctor, hospital, or the Poison Information Center for risk assessment and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Contact a doctor or pharmacist if any of the following side effects occur or do not work. Tell your doctor if there is anything else that makes you feel unwell while using EMLA. A mild reaction (pale or reddened skin, slight swelling, burning, or itchy sensation at first) may occur on the skin where EMLA is used. These are normal reactions to the cream and the anesthetic. They disappear after a short while without you having to do anything. If you experience any troublesome or unusual reactions when using EMLA, stop using the cream and talk to your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible.
