How to use this product

After applying the cream, you’ll need to cover the area in a dressing or a plastic wrap. This dressing should be removed either by yourself or a medical professional just before your procedure starts. Refer to the patient information leaflet for information on how much cream to use - this will depend on what you’re using the cream for.  

How do lidocaine and prilocaine numb the skin? 

The active ingredients in Denela 5% Cream are lidocaine and prilocaine. These are types of medicines called local anaesthetics, which numb the skin by stopping the nerves in the area of application from sending pain signals to your brain.  

When would I need to use numbing cream?

There are many reasons why you may want to use a numbing cream. Some of the most common reasons include:

 

• Getting an injection

• Donating blood

• Minor skin operations

• Removal of warts

• Cleansing or removal of leg ulcers

• Having a cannula inserted

How long does this anaesthetic last?

When you’ve applied the numbing cream your skin will remain numb for around 2 hours. This should be more than enough time to carry out minor procedures or an injection.

Can I use Denela 5% Cream when I’m getting a tattoo?

Denela 5% Cream is a numbing agent that’s typically used to numb pain before minor procedures, however, you can also use it to numb your skin before getting a tattoo. We’d recommend asking your doctor or Online Pharmacy 4U pharmacist beforehand to ensure that it’s the right option for you. You should also let your tattoo artist know that you’re planning on using a numbing cream so they can make any adjustments they may need to make sure your tattoo is perfect.
