NCT ID NCT07551713

First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a generic lidocaine and prilocaine cream works the same as the brand-name EMLA® cream. Forty healthy adults received a single dose of each cream on separate days, and researchers measured drug levels in their blood to compare absorption. The goal was to confirm the generic version is safe and equivalent, not to treat any disease.
