More information about Emla Cream
This is a local anaesthetic cream that contains the active ingredients 'lidocaine' and 'prilocaine'. When applied to the skin, Emla Cream numbs the surrounding area. This makes it an ideal medication for treating patients who suffer from premature ejaculation (PE), however it should be noted, that its use for the treatment of PE is currently off-label.
As a mild anaesthetic, when applied to the skin, Emla Cream blocks sensation. This numbing effect reduces sensitivity and thus (when applied to the penis) it prolongs sexual intercourse. After applying the cream, you should wait for up to 20 minutes before engaging in sexual activity, and first wash the exposed skin as if you don't Emla cream can cause irritation symptoms for your partner.
To effectively use this treatment, please follow the instructions below:
One gram of Emla cream contains 25 mg of lidocaine and 25 mg of prilocaine. Emla Cream is generally available in two sizes: 5g or 30g. However, regardless of the volume purchased, a pea-sized amount should only ever be applied to the glans penis.
Commonly reported side effects include pale, pink, or swollen skin at the site of application. You may also experience itching or tingling, as well as a warm sensation. Rarer reactions include blue/grey skin and methemoglobinemia, the symptoms of which are: headache, shortness of breath, nausea, rapid heart rate, fatigue and lethargy, confusion or stupor, loss of consciousness. You should contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms, or any others.
While this treatment is relatively safe, you should avoid it if you are allergic to bupivacaine, ropivacaine, any other amide anaesthetics. You should also exercise caution if you: are deficient in G6PD; have anaemia or methemoglobinemia (or, are taking medications that could cause such conditions); have eczema; or are currently taking antiarrhythmic medicines. You should avoid this treatment if you and your partner are trying to conceive.
