BUPIVACAINE is a local anesthetic belonging to the amide group, widely used to numb specific areas of the body during surgical, dental, or diagnostic procedures. It works by blocking nerve signals, thereby preventing the transmission of pain sensations.
USES
- Local infiltration.
- Peripheral nerve block.
- Epidural and caudal blocks.
- Sympathetic nerve block.
GUARANTEE & EXPIRY DATE
100% original from various Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers. Product photo may vary. All packs are air tight sealed and expire up to 02.2029.
DESCRIPTION
Bupivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic from the amide class, widely used for regional anesthesia and pain management. It works by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, preventing the conduction of pain signals to the brain.
Bupivacaine binds to the intracellular portion of voltage-gated sodium channels, inhibiting sodium influx into nerve cells. This action prevents depolarization, thereby blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses responsible for pain sensation.
Benefits:
- Long duration of action: Provides extended pain relief, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged anesthesia.
- High potency: Effective at lower concentrations compared to some other local anesthetics.
- Versatility: Applicable in various anesthetic techniques, including local infiltration, nerve blocks, and epidural anesthesia.
PACKAGING & DOSAGE
One pack contains 5 vials of 4 ml.
Active ingredient: Bupivacaine hydrochloride 5 mg.
Excipients: Sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, water for Injection, glucose, preservatives
The dosage of bupivacaine varies depending on the type of procedure, the area to be anesthetized, and the patient's condition.
