Description

Marcaine (Bupivacaine) 0.5% Multiple-Dose Vial (MDV) is a sterile, injectable anesthetic solution used for local or regional anesthesia. Each mL of the solution contains 5 mg of bupivacaine hydrochloride, a long-acting amide-type anesthetic. This formulation is designed to block nerve impulses, providing pain relief during surgical procedures, labor, or other medical interventions requiring anesthesia.

The 0.5% concentration offers potent, extended-duration anesthesia, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged pain management. Its effects can last several hours, reducing the need for additional anesthetic doses during extended surgeries. The solution is administered via injection by a healthcare professional and is commonly used in epidural, caudal, or peripheral nerve blocks.

The 50 mL multiple-dose vial allows for flexible dosing and usage over multiple procedures. This reduces waste and enhances efficiency in clinical settings. Marcaine's clear, colorless solution is prepared under strict sterile conditions to ensure patient safety and minimize the risk of infection.

Used primarily in hospitals and surgical centers, Marcaine is valued for its reliability and consistent performance in managing pain. Its long duration of action and high safety profile make it a preferred choice for both minor and major surgical procedures.
