, although this is a surface cream it seems to go much

deeper and it lasts a really long time, some times over six hours. And yes, it completely

gets rid of burning, stinging, rawness, maybe nerve pain, all irritation (at

least for me) and it is thin gel so it gets in all the cracks around the urethra.

I can’t think of anything it doesn’t help with. It burned at first

for fifteen or so minutes, now it doesn’t burn at all, and it puts a

covering over everything, and if you urinate and use a water rinse bottle

afterwards (which I always do anyway – I think it is bad to leave any

urine on the surfaces) and either pat dry or air dry. If I can, I usually air

dry – the coating does not wash off and you do not have to reapply. It is

the best stuff I have found so far. I will have to get a prescription for it so

I don’t have to pay $36 bucks for it again. Although I have only been

using it every day for the last three weeks and sometimes I become immune to

these topicals.

nne,

Is that the complete ingredient listing you gave? Are there

really no

preservative/inert ingredients in addition?

I

just wanted to tell everyone that I got the Emla Cream (made by AstraZeneca)

that I sent away for to Canada and paid $36.00 for. I later found out that I

could have gotten a prescription for it and pay $10 co-pay at my local

pharmacy. Anyway it is made of 25mg of Lidocaine and 25mg of Prilocaine mixed

with hydrated castor oil and sodium hydroxide. This product is sold over the

counter in Canada, England and other European countries. The box it was

packaged in was really strange as the writing was Arabic and it said it was

made it Israel. The tube itself was written in English and said it was made by

AstraZeneca on the front but on the back where it listed the ingredients it

said it was made by AstraZeneca, Sweden. AstraZeneca is an American

manufacturer also, which is where the American product is made. Drug companies

have manufacturing plants all over the world.

Anyway,

what I like the most about the cream is that it is very thin consistency. You

just put your finger on the top of the tube and you get enough to spread all

over the genital area. I usually have to put my finger on the top about three

times because my pain is to touch and that covers the whole area including the

part with hair. The Lidocaine gel I had before was very thick and you had to

use a lot of it to cover. The Emla cream is much better – I can see that

this tube will last a long time, because you barely use anything. When you

first put it on, it burns for about a minute then goes away. It helps with the

pain almost completely and lasts for about six hours. So if you have really

excessive bad pain in the vaginal, perineum area, this gel will really help

you. If you don’t have a doctor to get a prescription, then pay the money

to get it from Canada – it is well worth it.
