Description

Bupivacaine 0.5% Plain, presented in a 50 mL Multiple-Dose Vial (MDV), is a local anesthetic solution used for various regional anesthesia applications. It serves as a generic equivalent to Marcaine™ and Sensorcaine®, providing comparable efficacy and safety in pain management. The solution is designed for infiltration anesthesia, where it blocks nerve impulses in the targeted area to provide effective pain relief during surgical procedures.

This formulation of Bupivacaine features a concentration of 0.5%, which delivers potent local anesthetic effects while minimizing systemic absorption. It is specifically designed to offer prolonged analgesia with a moderate onset time, making it suitable for procedures that require extended pain management. The 50 mL MDV ensures that there is an adequate supply of the anesthetic solution for multiple uses, providing flexibility in clinical settings.

It is important to note that Bupivacaine 0.5% Plain is not indicated for caudal, epidural, or spinal anesthesia. Its use is restricted to peripheral nerve blocks and local infiltration, ensuring that it is applied in appropriate clinical contexts to avoid potential complications associated with its use in other types of anesthesia.
