How do the makers of numbing cream for needles ensure rapid onset and a good, strong positive effect?
The most important thing numbing cream for needles formulators can do is make sure to develop and include an effective delivery system. There are two types of delivery systems. One type is physical. Physical delivery systems can include the use of laser or ultrasound to drive the product into the skin where it will be effective. The other type is a chemical delivery system. This means that some chemical penetration enhancer, or driver, is included that helps the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), usually, lidocaine, enter the skin without the need for potentially, expensive and bulky equipment in the doctor’s office. Certainly, most people will not have home access to physical delivery systems. It is just not usually practical or economical.
The most commonly known and used delivery chemicals are:
- ethoxydiglycol
- MSM
- isopropyl myristate
- Urea
- propylene glycol
By including the appropriate concentration of one or more drivers, the formulators ensure effective delivery of the API, lidocaine. There are many numbing cream for needle products that do not include drivers. These product will most likely just sit on the top of the skin where they cannot exert their effect. It is important to look at the ingredients to make sure one or more of these drivers are in the list. If not, do not expect the numbing cream for needles to work very effectively.
NeuroMed 7 is a topical anesthetic formulation that includes three drivers designed to improve the inset time and effect of the API, lidocaine.
Many physicians and patients use NeuroMed 7 to pre-treat the needle insertion site prior to treatment.
NeuroMed 7 is known to reach its peak effect in 10 – 15 minutes and be highly effective!
