Uses of Bupine Injection 5mg/Ml

Bupine Injection 5mg/Ml is used to numb part of the body for surgery and to relieve pain. It is given as a spinal or epidural injection, for example for caesarean section, hip or knee surgery and pain relief during labour, and also for nerve blocks and local infiltration around a wound.

How Bupine Injection 5mg/Ml works

Bupivacaine blocks sodium channels in nerve cells, stopping them from sending pain signals to the brain. The area supplied by those nerves becomes numb, and sometimes temporarily weak, for several hours until the medicine is gradually removed by the body.

Possible side effects

After Bupine Injection 5mg/Ml, some temporary effects are common. These include:

• Low blood pressure
• Nausea or vomiting
• Numbness or weakness in the legs
• Shivering
• Difficulty passing urine
• Headache after a spinal injection

Staff watch for and you should report dizziness, ringing in the ears, a metallic taste, numbness of the tongue or lips, muscle twitching or an irregular heartbeat. A severe headache in the days after a spinal or epidural also needs medical review.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given only in hospital or clinic settings by trained healthcare professionals who monitor the patient.
• Tell the medical team about allergies, other medicines and any kidney, liver or heart problems.
• Let the team know if you take blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder, as this affects whether a spinal or epidural can be given.
• Take care not to injure numb areas until feeling returns, and do not walk unaided until staff say it is safe.
• Do not drive or operate machinery on the day of treatment.
