About

ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE belongs to the class of local anaesthetic medications. It is indicated in adults for producing local or regional anaesthesia for surgery and acute pain management. Anesthesia is a medical procedure that prevents pain and discomfort during surgical or medical procedures. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.

ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE contains Ropivacaine Hydrochloride. It works by blocking the transmission of pain signals from the nerves to the brain.

ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE is administered only in a hospital setting by an anaesthetist. It may occasionally cause undesirable effects during the medical procedure like hypotension, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia (slow heart rate), fever, pain, postoperative complications, anaemia, paresthesia (Pins and needles), headache, pruritus (itching), and back pain. Any problems that arise during your procedure will be promptly addressed by your anaesthetist.

ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE is recommended not to use if you are hypersensitive to Ropivacaine Hydrochloride or other similar anaesthetics. So, before taking ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety and efficacy of ropivacaine in pediatric patients have not been established. Patients should not drive or operate heavy machinery for at least 24 hours after receiving Ropivacaine Hydrochloride.

      Patients should not drive or operate heavy machinery for at least 24 hours after receiving ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE.

    • Safety Warning

      Liver

      caution

      Since the liver metabolizes amide-type local anaesthetics like ropivacaine, patients with liver disease should use ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE with caution, especially if they are taking repeat doses. Individuals with severe liver disease are more likely to experience toxic plasma concentrations due to their impaired ability to metabolize local anaesthetics.

    • Safety Warning

      Kidney

      caution

      Since the kidneys are known to excrete this medication and its metabolites, patients with impaired renal function may be more vulnerable to toxic reactions from ROPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE. Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems.
