Shop Prilox Cream 5g (Prilocaine/Lidocaine)

Prilox Cream 5g (Prilocaine/Lidocaine) is a prescription anesthetic that numbs the skin to reduce pain during minor procedures. It combines prilocaine and lidocaine, which block nerve signals. When applied properly, it makes procedures more comfortable.

This cream is often used before needle procedures (vaccinations, blood tests, IV insertions), minor dermatological or cosmetic treatments (laser therapy, tattoo application/removal, microneedling, minor skin surgeries), and minor surgical procedures involving superficial skin layers.

How It Works

Prilocaine and lidocaine are types of numbing medicine. They lower pain by blocking certain parts of the nerves in your skin. When you put the cream on, it passes through the top layers and blocks nerve signals in that area from reaching the brain.

The numbing effect usually begins within 20 to 60 minutes after application, depending on the thickness of the skin and the amount used. Subsequently, the duration of action may last 1 to 2 hours after removal, though this can vary.

How to Use

• Do not rub it into the skin completely.
• Cover with a plastic wrap if told to do so.
• Leave it on for the recommended time.
• Remove and clean the area before the procedure. It’s important to follow these steps to ensure safety and effectiveness before proceeding.
