PATIENT INFORMATION
When EMLA Cream is used, the patient should be aware that the production of dermal analgesia may be accompanied by the block of all sensations in the treated skin. For this reason, the patient should avoid inadvertent trauma to the treated area by scratching, rubbing, or exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures until complete sensation has returned.
EMLA Cream should not be applied near the eyes or on open wounds.
Generic Name: Lidocaine and Prilocaine
