Indications
Emla is used to treat inflammatory and to numb the skin in a particular area of the body. Lidocaine and prilocaine topical is often used to numb the skin, or surfaces of the penis or vagina, before a medical procedure or to lessen the pain of inserting a medical instrument such as a tube or speculum.

How It Works
Emla prevents inflammation and acts as a local anesthetic (numbing medication). Lidocaine and prilocaine belongs to the family of medications called topical corticosteroids. Its exact mechanism is unknown. Prilocaine is a local anesthetic of the amino amide type, and lidocain is also a local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic drug. Lidocaine is used as a cream to relieve itching, burning and pain due to skin inflammation.
