Buy Emla no Prescription Emla is a mixture of two local anaesthetics, lignocaine and prilocaine.
These local anaesthetics are combined with special agents which allow the products to pass through the skin. Once through the skin the numbing effect they produce allows minor surgical procedures to be done without you feeling any pain. However you may still experience sensations such as pressure and touch in this area. Emla cream is used for pain relief on the skin prior to procedures. These procedures may include taking blood samples, skin grafting, cleaning leg ulcers or inserting intravenous catheters.
