EMLA now comes as a patch
November 1998
The Rx topical anesthetic EMLA now comes as a patch. It's a mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine.
The patch numbs an area about the size of a silver dollar.
Consider EMLA for kids who really fear injections or blood draws. Show parents where the site will be, and have them put on a patch at least an hour beforehand.
