Description
What this medicine is for
Emla Cream 5% is a topical anaesthetic cream that may be used off-label by men seeking help with premature ejaculation (PE).
Premature ejaculation is a common condition where ejaculation occurs sooner than desired during sexual activity. By reducing sensitivity, Emla Cream may help improve control and prolong sexual performance.
How it works
Emla Cream contains two local anaesthetics, lidocaine and prilocaine.
These ingredients temporarily numb the skin and reduce sensitivity in the applied area. When used appropriately before sexual activity, this may help delay ejaculation and improve control.
