Will this med help with lower back pain, because when I put it on it is not hot? It remains cold... ## Hello, Karen! How are you? There is nothing in this to make it heat up, though some over the counter products like IcyHot do, it isn't necessary to actually relieve pain. Additionally, those products don't actually heat up, anyway, they only stimulate nerve receptors to make it feel as though they do. Is it helping you? ## Hello. My Dr gave. me a compound that consisted of Keto 10%- Amit 3%- Ga 6%- and emla cre #150 and it helps.

i am currently being follicle tested by childrens aid and i use emla numbing cream for my tattoos i wanna make sure i dont fail my segmented drug test please oprovide feedback. ## Emla contains the active ingredients Lidocaine and Prilocaine and, in theory, you shouldn't absorb enough from the cream for it to cause false positives, but it is possible that they can cause them for Cocaine, if you've accidentally absorbed too much into you body.

please help me i cannot afford any meds ## I'm sorry, but this site does not manufacture, nor prescribe any medications, this is an information only website. In addition, there aren't actual assistance programs available for generic medications, you would need your doctor to prescribe the actual name brands. The trade name for this would be EMLA and I can't find any assistance programs for it. Have you tried checking the price with various pharmacies to find the cheapest possible?
