Additional Information

Description

Marcaine Injection 0.5% is a local anesthetic formulation containing bupivacaine as the active ingredient. It is commonly used for regional anesthesia and pain management during surgical procedures, including epidural and nerve block applications. This injection is provided in prefilled single-dose vials, with each vial containing 30 mL of the solution, offering convenience and precise dosing for medical professionals. 

Bupivacaine, the active component, works by inhibiting the sodium influx into nerve cells, thereby preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. This action leads to a reversible loss of sensation in the area where it is administered. Marcaine is often preferred for procedures requiring longer-lasting anesthesia due to its extended duration of action compared to other local anesthetics.

Marcaine Injection 0.5% is designed for use in hospital and clinical settings. Its primary indications include providing anesthesia for minor to major surgeries and controlling postoperative pain. It is essential to use this product under the supervision of healthcare professionals to avoid potential complications, such as systemic toxicity, which can occur if administered in excess.
