Bupivacaine Hydrochloride 5mg/mL + Dextrose 80mg/mL, 4mL Injection

Product Introduction

Bupivacaine Hydrochloride 5mg/mL + Dextrose 80mg/mL Heavy Spinal Injection, 4mL is a hyperbaric spinal anaesthetic containing bupivacaine with dextrose for subarachnoid injection. It is used in adults to produce spinal anaesthesia for selected surgical procedures.

How to use

Bupivacaine Hydrochloride 5mg/mL + Dextrose 80mg/mL Heavy Spinal Injection, 4mL is injected into the subarachnoid space by an anaesthesia professional after sterile preparation and clinical assessment. It must not be injected into a vein or used for self-administration. Positioning and monitoring are part of the dose plan.

How it works

Bupivacaine blocks sodium-channel conduction in spinal nerve roots. Dextrose makes the solution hyperbaric, helping control spread within cerebrospinal fluid.

Common side effects

Possible effects include low blood pressure, slow heart rate, nausea, vomiting, shivering, urinary retention, back discomfort, headache, weakness, or numbness. Serious concerns include high spinal block, breathing difficulty, seizures, heart rhythm problems, cardiac arrest, nerve injury, infection, bleeding around the spine, or severe allergy.

Important information

Use only for spinal anaesthesia by trained professionals. Caution is required in low blood volume, shock, heart block, severe anaemia, infection near injection site, clotting disorders, anticoagulant use, neurologic disease, pregnancy, older age, and concurrent local anaesthetic exposure.
