The use of EMLA eutectic cream is very effective and well tolerated in superficial anaesthesia. It is particularly indicated in surgical treatment of inguinal hernia by local anaesthesia, to achieve the analgesia of superficial layers. This allows to reduce the total dose of anaesthetics administrated by infiltration, reducing the risk of overdose, eliminating the pain due to injection, and is very agreeable for the patients.

D000779 Anesthetics, Local Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate.
