Is it allowed to take Emla ™ during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Emla is a tradename that contains several active ingredients in its composition: Lidocaine (Very Low Risk) Prilocaine (Very Low Risk) Since each active ingredient of this product may have a different level of risk for breastfeeding, we establish that of the product with higher risk. For more information (pharmacokinetics, references, ...) tap each active ingredient. Note: The composition of certain tradenames varies in each country. Please, make sure this is the composition of the tradename you are looking for..

My husband just got the medication in the mail today. He has very bruised muscles or bruised kidney. The pain he is having is very deep, so I was wondering if this medication would be able to reach that deep. Also, how long does it take to work. He has add the first application on for about 30 min. and its not doing anything.
