Photos Emla (lidocaine/prilocaine topical) EMLA®) 1 heure avant la séance How To Use HOW TO USE THIS MEDICATION: This medication is for use on the skin only. Apply to the skin area at the proper time as directed. The length of time for the medication to stay on the skin depends on the type of procedure you will undergo. However, it should be applied for a minimum of 1 hour before the procedure. To apply, squeeze out the prescribed amount of cream directly onto the skin. Do not rub in. Cover with air-tight dressing (e.g., Tegaderm). Remove the paper frame and seal the edges only allowing the cream to remain in a thick layer. Just prior to your medical procedure or when directed, remove the dressing and cream and clean the area thoroughly. Do not use larger amounts than prescribed or leave it in place for longer than directed since the chance for side effects may be increased. Avoid contact with the eyes. Use cautiously near the nose and mouth. Side Effects This medication may cause temporary redness, tingling or lightening of the skin. If these symptoms continue or become worse inform your doctor.
