About BUPICAIN HEAVY INJECTION 4ML

BUPICAIN HEAVY INJECTION 4ML belongs to the class of 'local anaesthetics', primarily used to reduce pain and discomfort during labour, surgery, dental treatment and other medical procedures. It produces local numbness and relieves pain. BUPICAIN HEAVY INJECTION 4ML is given in the form of an epidural injection at the spinal cord to prevent pain during labour and Caesarean section. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or intermittent. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.

BUPICAIN HEAVY INJECTION 4ML contains 'Bupivacaine' that belongs to the group of medicines called 'amide-type anaesthetics'. Bupivacaine is a numbing medication that blocks the transmission of pain signals in the pain area by acting on the nervous system and nerves. This blockage causes the loss of pain sensation and promotes temperature, touch, deep pressure and muscle control.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain is not a disease but a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or intermittent. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). Pain can be considered a good thing as it helps us know that something is wrong in the body and thereby helps diagnose the condition. The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, arthritis and stomach ache.
