MULTIPLE PACKS
Dispensing multiple packs or multiple repeats of prescription medication
- As pharmacists we must always comply explicitly with your doctors prescribed directions this includes the quantity of the prescription goods to be supplied. Therefore the only time we can supply an increased quantity of a prescribed medicine is if the doctor prescribes that quantity for you.
AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION
-
Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.
Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.
Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).
Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.
But still pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has the necessary Authority code.

Ingredients
Active Ingredients:
Lignocaine 25mg/g,
Prilocaine 25mg/g.
Directions
Instructions for use on leg ulcers:
1. Apply a thick layer of cream all over the ulcer. Use about 1-2g per 10cm2. Do not apply more than a total of 10g at any one time.
2. Cover the emla cream with an occlusive dressing and stick it on with adhesive tape. Make sure all the edges are sealed.
3. Leave the cream on for at least 30 minutes. An application time of 60 minutes may improve anaesthesia.
4. Your doctor or nurse will take off the dressing and emla cream just before cleaning your ulcer. Cleaning should start within 10 minutes of the dressing and cream being removed.
5. Throw out the tube containing any left over emla cream.
Instructions for use on intact skin
1. Ensure the skin is clean and dry e.g. remove makeup. Press out a sufficient quantity of cream (about 2g) at the site of the procedure.
2. Take one of the enclosed occlusive dressings and remove the centre cut-out piece.
3. Peel the paper liner from the paper framed dressing.
4. Cover the emla cream so that you get a thick layer underneath. Do not spread out the cream. Smooth down the dressing edges carefully to avoid leakage.
5. Remove the paper frame. The time of application can easily be marked directly on the occlusive dressing. N.B. emla must be applied at least 1 hours before the start of the procedure and may be left on several hours without loss of effect.
6. Immediately before the procedure, the occlusive dressing will be removed, the emla cream wiped off and the area cleaned with alcohol. Duration of effective skin anaesthesia will be at least 2 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing.
If your would like any more information please ask your pharmacist for Consumer Medical Information for emla.

Works great!
I bought this Emla 5% cream 30g tube recently and I am so glad that I did; it worked effectively when I went to have stitches and upon getting vaccinations. Easy to apply and then simply cover with a dressing or glad wrap and adhesive tape. It is certainly a product that I would recommend and happily purchase again.
