EMLA (or equivalent) is a local anesthetic cream used to relieve pain on the skin or mucous membranes. It contains two anesthetics, lidocaine and procaine, which work by forming a layer of numbing effect on the surface of the skin to reduce discomfort during injections or procedures. EMLA cream is usually used in medical institutions, where it is applied to the skin by professional medical staff and left covered for a period of time to achieve an anesthetic effect. Please read the instructions carefully before use to ensure that you understand the appropriate usage and dosage. In Hong Kong, EMLA cream is commonly used when children are receiving vaccinations or need minor surgery. Please consult a doctor before use to ensure safe and effective use.
Directions for use: EMLA ointment is a medicine used for local anesthesia and should be applied to the skin. Before use, clean and dry skin. Make sure the ointment is evenly applied to the area that needs anesthesia, and then lightly cover it with a transparent film or gauze. Use approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before surgery or injection to ensure anesthesia effect. Not recommended for prolonged use or application to open wounds.
Dosage Guidelines: The dosage for adults and children is similar, usually about 1-2 grams of ointment per square centimeter of skin. The starting dose may vary depending on the extent and depth of anesthesia required, and it is generally recommended to try a small amount first to determine how the skin reacts to the drug. The dose may be adjusted if necessary, but do not exceed the maximum dose per dose. Please follow the advice of your physician or pharmacist to ensure safe and effective use. During use, avoid contact with eyes or mouth, and avoid overdose to avoid adverse reactions.
EMLA ointment is a local anesthetic medication used to numb the skin. Some side effects may occur during use, including local skin redness, burning, stinging, itching or numbness. A few people may experience allergic reactions such as rash, hives, or difficulty breathing. Prolonged use or application to large areas may cause systemic side effects such as dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. If severe side effects occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. Before using EMLA or any other medicine, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist and use it strictly according to the instructions on the user manual.
EMLA (or equivalent) is a local anesthetic cream commonly used to numb the skin before injections or surgery. However, the following contraindications should be noted when using EMLA:
1. People who are allergic to any ingredient in EMLA should avoid using it as it may cause skin allergic reactions, including redness, itching or rash.
2. EMLA is not suitable for infants under 1 month old because their skin is thin and they can easily absorb too much medicine and cause adverse reactions.
3. In some cases, the use of EMLA may not be appropriate. For example, patients with a history of severe skin damage, burns, infection or allergies should avoid using it.
4. Patients with heart disease, liver disease or other serious diseases should use EMLA under the guidance of a physician to avoid possible complications.
In short, you should read the instructions carefully before using EMLA to ensure that you meet the conditions for use. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult a doctor immediately. Compliance with contraindications is critical to ensuring treatment efficacy and patient safety.
