Medical - Medical: Health Care / Medical records
Spanish term or phrase: las tomas
Postpartum medical records:

If cracked skin occurs after a Caesarean section, use Epixelle twice daily and VEA Olio. "No precisa ser retirado previo a las tomas".

I am not sure what "las tomas" refers to here.

Explanation:
I think this is likely to be about breastfeeding and the cream does not need to be removed before nursing, as it is natural.
Las tomas del lactante means feeds, so it could mean that, under the circumstances.

agree  neilmac: Could be. I think we need more info to be sure, hence my low confidence...

  -> Thanks, Neil. I think this is 2 creams with 2 different purposes, and the "previo a las tomas" part is about Vea Olio.

agree  Charles Davis: I think your reply to Neil is spot on. Epixelle is for cesarean scars, but Vea Olio is used for sore/cracked nipples and the "tomas" part refers to it. Just "feeding" or "feeds" could be used, I think. "Nursing" a little old-fashioned? I may be wrong.
