How do you take Emla dream:
A thick layer of EMLA cream is applied to the skin, in the
area where the needle is to be inserted or where the surgery
will be done. The cream is covered with an occlusive dressing
(a special bandage which doesn't allow the cream to seep through)
and the dressing is stuck to the skin. There are instructions
about how to apply the cream and dressing on the package.
Follow them carefully. EMLA cream should be left in place
for at least one hour (or up to 5 hours) before the procedure
or needle stick. Just before the needle stick, the dressing
is removed and any remaining cream may be gently rinsed off
with clear water. The patch is applied for the same length
of time as the cream. The skin or tissue will be numb for
up to 2 hours.
