What is Emla?
Emla is an effective premature ejaculation treatment. The application of the cream has been proven to be very effective in men of all ages, no matter the cause or severity of the condition. With the active ingredients, lidocaine and prilocaine, the local anesthetic numbs the glans of your penis, therefore delaying orgasm.
Treatment of premature ejaculation
Many men have the same problem during sexual intercourse, respectively the orgasm sets in shortly after beginning and ends with the first mild sexual stimulation. Due to very high sensitivity in the glans of the penis, the orgasm is very hard to control. It is a drug that can help prevent premature ejaculation and give the man more control over the timing of ejaculation. The cream is directly applied to the glans of the penis and slightly numbs it. The effect is that the man has more time to reach orgasm. Next to the cream we also offer Priligy, the first drug for premature ejaculation.
How to apply the cream
Apply the Emla cream to the particularly sensitive area of the penis, namely the glans at the tip of your penis. It will quickly numb the area. It is important to wash your fingers immediately after applying Emla cream; otherwise, you might get numb fingertips.
How much time does the effect last?
The cream effect begins after approximately 25 minutes and usually lasts for up to one hour. The more cream you apply, the stronger and longer the effect will be. However, it will not last longer than 5 hours.
The Emla cream can be purchased in doses of 25mg – in packs of 5g or 30g.

Side Effects
Emla cream is an extremely effective ointment that stuns the penis, ensuring longer-lasting sex. Side effects are extremely rare. You should immediately stop using the cream and call your doctor if you experience them.
The most common side effects include redness and itching in places where the ointment is applied. Applying it to areas other than the penis, especially to open wounds, or inside the eyes and ears, should be strictly avoided. Please note that it is essential to wash your hands after applying the cream.
Contraindications and interactions
Since the cream is applied externally, only a few interactions and contraindications are known. However, you should not use the cream if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Also, you should not use it if you have ear complaints, such as acute middle-ear infection, or other problems with the ear canal.
Is Premature Ejaculation a common problem?
Unfortunately, there are many men in the UK affected by premature ejaculation. Studies have shown that one man in three suffers from this problem, at least once in his life. Although there are such a large number of affected men, nobody really talks about it. Too-early ejaculation often causes distress, embarrassment and anxiety.
Is Emla cream a local anesthetic?
The cream is referred to as a medical local anesthetic because it contains an anesthetic analgesic effect on the penis. The cream prevents the transmission of stimulus to the brain, which is triggered by sexual stimulation during intercourse. In other words, Emla Cream works because of two active ingredients: prilocaine and lidocaine. These two active substances mix to form a viscous mass, which becomes liquid as soon as applied to the skin. Also, it is rapidly absorbed.
As soon as the effect is felt due to the blocking of certain sensory cells, intercourse can begin. The glans of the penis now has a lower sensitivity. The result is that the penis usually has to be stimulated much longer until ejaculation takes place.
Is Emla cream safe?
Yes, Emla cream is a safe premature ejaculation treatment if you apply it exactly as instructed. Although side effects are very rare, they may occur. Some of the symptoms include:
- Redness
- Bruising
- Burning/irritation where the cream was applied
- Swelling
- Sudden drowsiness/dizziness
Stop using the cream if you experience any of the above symptoms. Also, seek immediate medical assistance if they get worse or do not go away on their own.
How often can I apply the cream?
It is advised to use Emla cream only when needed, 30-60 minutes before sexual intercourse. Keep the doses at least 12 hours apart in any 24 hours.
How much time does the numbing last?
The duration of the effect depends on case to case, since the quantity of applied product may vary. However, it usually wears off in an hour or three after you apply it. The Emla cream effect can last up to a maximum of five hours.
