EMLA now comes as a patch
November 1998
The topical anesthetic, EMLA now comes as a patch. It used to be available only as a cream.
EMLA is approved for adults...and kids over one month old.
It's used to numb the skin before injections...blood draws...and superficial skin surgery. Some physicians also use EMLA cream on newborns before circumcision.
