emla cream for premature ejaculation
£12
EMLA cream is a topical anesthetic designed to help men manage premature ejaculation (PE). By numbing the penile skin, it can delay ejaculation, enhancing sexual performance and satisfaction.
£12
How Does It Work?
EMLA cream contains two active ingredients, lidocaine and prilocaine, which are local anesthetics. When applied to the penis, these substances temporarily reduce skin sensitivity by blocking nerve signals, thereby delaying ejaculation.
Studies have shown that EMLA cream can significantly increase the time between achieving an erection and ejaculation for many men. Its effectiveness varies among individuals, but it has been a beneficial treatment for those seeking to manage PE.
EMLA cream typically requires application approximately 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity. This allows sufficient time for the anesthetic effect to develop, aiding in delaying ejaculation.
Application: Apply a small, pea-sized amount of EMLA cream to the underside of the penis, focusing near the frenulum (the "banjo string").
Timing: Administer the cream 15 to 30 minutes before engaging in sexual activity.
Removal: Before intercourse, gently wipe away any excess cream to prevent numbing your partner.
Consistent use as directed is essential for optimal results. Avoid exceeding the recommended amount, and always follow the guidance provided in the patient information leaflet.
Side Effects of Emla Cream
As with any medication, EMLA cream may cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them.
Common Side Effects:
- Redness or slight swelling at the application site
- Mild burning or itching sensation
Uncommon Side Effects:
- Paleness or changes in skin color at the application site
- Mild allergic reactions, such as a rash
If you experience severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing or significant swelling, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. For a comprehensive list of potential side effects, refer to the patient information leaflet.

Important warning & precautions
Allergies: Do not use EMLA cream if you are allergic to lidocaine, prilocaine, or any other ingredients in the cream.
Application Areas: Avoid applying the cream to broken or inflamed skin, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
Partner Safety: Ensure excess cream is removed before intercourse to prevent transferring the numbing effect to your partner.
Condom Use: EMLA cream is oil-based and may weaken latex condoms, increasing the risk of them breaking. Consider using polyurethane condoms, which are not affected by oil-based products.
Storage: Store EMLA cream in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Do not use the cream beyond its expiry date.
