Vitamin B 12 injections cream

[Guest guest]

does anyone know if the numbing cream called emla is legal? The

ingredients are lidocaine, prilocaine, polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester

carboxypolymethlene, purified water and sodium hydroxide.

My dd uses Emla all the time before her blood draws. Since it's topically

applied and not ingested, I didn't think it was a problem (like the recent

discussions on here re. legal shampoo--they're all legal b/c your kid isn't

going to eat them). Any disagreement on this from the " pros " ????

Good luck w. the B12 injections.

Yes, it's legal. You don't have to worry about anything that's applied

topically, unless your child has a specific allergy. That would not be an SCD

issue, though. From that standpoint, we only worry about what goes " down the

hatch " .
