Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 It is EMLA (all caps) cream. They use it to numb the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this is a typo in my book? Probably, Drake and Drake Pharm 2000 has EMLA, so it has apparently been corrected. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 It has always been EMLA in the MPR (p. 295) and my dermatologist requested I keep it that way. It is also listed in the latest edition of the Medical Abbreviations book by Dr. Neil as a registered tradename (all caps), which stands for eutectic mixture of local anesthetics, which I did not know myself until today.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 Could the doc be saying Emla cream? It is a topical local anesthetic. R.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 My med book (Drake and Drake Pharmaceutical Book) has Emla listed as capital E only. Is this is a typo in my book? When I worked for a dermatologist, he wanted it all caps, however, I thought is his " thing " . Did they make a mistake or it is acceptable either way?

I'm still not sure that " Emla " isn't correct, but I'm inclined to use the caps because the manufacturer does. Jayni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, also, EMLA appears to be an acronym (more or less ... don't ask me what happened to the " p " ), so I'd be inclined to think that the lower-case version is erroneous.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 I am going to be a pest today as I don't have many reference books here at this hospital. Patient has Hepatitis C and is interested in S/L Revatron therapy. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
