The drug EMLA contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Lidocaine
UNII 98PI200987 - LIDOCAINE
|
|
Lidocaine, like other local anaesthetics, causes a reversible blockade of impulse propagation along nerve fibres by preventing the inward movement of sodium ions through the nerve membrane. Local anaesthetics of the amide-type are thought to act within the sodium channels of the nerve membrane. |
|
2
Prilocaine
UNII 046O35D44R - PRILOCAINE
|
|
Prilocaine is a toluidine derivative and intermediate-acting amino amide with local anesthetic property. Prilocaine binds to the intracellular surface of sodium channels which blocks the subsequent influx of sodium into the cell. Action potential propagation and never function is, therefore, prevented. This block is reversible and when the drug diffuses away from the cell, sodium channel function is restored and nerve propagation returns. |
