Description

Sensorcaine 0.5% 30mL vial is a local anesthetic solution containing bupivacaine hydrochloride. It is used for various types of regional anesthesia, including nerve block, epidural, and spinal anesthesia. Bupivacaine, the active ingredient, works by inhibiting sodium ion influx through neuronal membranes, thereby stabilizing the neuronal cell membrane and preventing the propagation of nerve impulses.

The formulation is designed for injection and is typically administered via regional or local infiltration methods by a healthcare professional. The 0.5% concentration provides an intermediate duration of action, making it suitable for surgical procedures where moderate anesthesia is required.

Sensorcaine is not intended for intravenous use and must be administered under strict medical supervision due to the potential for systemic toxicity. Careful monitoring of the patient’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems is necessary, as excessive doses or rapid absorption can lead to serious complications, including arrhythmias or seizures.
