How numit works

Numit contains a harmonious combination of lidocaine 2.5% w/w (also called lignocaine) and prilocaine 2.5% w/w. Studies have shown that this combination of local anaesthetics can penetrate the skin and target nerve endings. This helps stop pain signals from starting and spreading² ³.

This creates a skin-numbing effect, so you, or your child can tough it through a range of common minor superficial medical and cosmetic procedures, needles and vaccinations, or other minor procedures.

Dual-active anaesthesia

Studies of Lidocaine (lignocaine) 2.5% w/w and prilocaine 2.5% w/w combination cream have shown to help numb the full skin depth.² ³ It provides effective analgesia for at least 2 hours.*³

Droplets of liquid anaesthetic penetrate the skin to numb the site. These droplets also form a ‘reservoir’ in the top layer of skin⁴.

The reservoir continues to release anaesthetic into the skin’s deeper layers, which increases the numbing effect for up to 60 minutes after the cream is removed*⁵.

Needles are an unavoidable part of childhood and adult life. However, the associated pain doesn’t have to be. 

Fear of needles can begin with an unpleasant experience and evolve into a lifelong phobia⁷ creating many stressful situations particularly in those who may require regular injections such as children and adults with diabetes. Fear of needles can lead to patients refusing to adhere to their insulin schedule⁸ and being generally reluctant to get necessary injections. 

A combination numbing cream can take the pain out of injections and minor procedures, helping to avoid those bad experiences that may contribute to a fear of needles. 

  • Numit is an easy to use and affordable Australian anaesthetic cream with at least 2 hours of numbing action.
