About this product

Overview

Bucan 0.5% injection contains Bupivacaine HCL (0.5%). It comes as a injection. The pack contains 5 ampx10 ml injection.

Bupivacaine is a long acting local anaesthetic. It blocks nerve signals in the area where it is injected, so the region goes numb while the patient stays awake. It lasts several hours, which makes it useful for surgery and for pain relief afterwards.

Uses of Bucan 0.5% injection

Bucan 0.5% injection is used for:

  • Spinal and epidural anaesthesia, including for caesarean section
  • Epidural pain relief in labour
  • Nerve blocks for surgery and post operative pain
  • Local infiltration during procedures

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Bucan 0.5% injection can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:

  • Drop in blood pressure with spinal or epidural use
  • Numbness and heaviness in the legs until it wears off
  • Nausea
  • Headache after a spinal, in some patients

Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.

Precautions

Bupivacaine is given only by anaesthetists and trained doctors, with monitoring and resuscitation equipment at hand, because accidental injection into a blood vessel can affect the heart. Tell the team about any previous reaction to local anaesthetic, heart rhythm problems, or blood thinning medicines before a spinal or epidural.

Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How to Use

Bucan 0.5% injection is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse, or by you only if you have been shown how to do it. Follow the instructions you were given and read the leaflet. Read the leaflet inside the pack before you start.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack. Some injections need to be kept in a fridge, so check the label. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.
