2. What you need to know before you are given Ampres

Do not use Ampres:

  • if you are allergic to chloroprocaine hydrochloride, to PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) ester-type medicines, to other local anesthetics of the ester type, or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if there are general and specific contraindications for regional anesthesia, regardless of the local anesthetic used,
  • if you have been told you have a reduced blood volume (hypovolemia),
  • if you have severe cardiac conduction problems.

Warnings and precautions

If you have any of the following, you should discuss it with your doctor beforeyou are given this medicine.

  • if you have ever had a bad reaction to an anesthetic in the past.
  • if you have signs of skin infection or inflammation at the proposed injection site or nearby.
  • if you suffer from any of the following:
  • liver disease or kidney problems.
  • very low blood pressure.
  • blood clotting problems.
  • fluid in the lungs.
  • septicemia (blood poisoning).
  • if you have a heart condition (e.g., complete or partial heart block, heart failure, or arrhythmia).
  • if your general health is poor.

Other medicines and Ampres

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. In particular, if you are taking any medicine for an irregular heartbeat (class III antiarrhythmics), for the treatment of low blood pressure (vasopressors), and for pain relief.

Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • cholinesterase inhibitors (such as anticholinesterases or cyclophosphamide)

This is because your body takes longer to eliminate Ampres if you are taking these medicines.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before you are given this medicine. Ampres is not recommended for local or regional anesthesia during pregnancy and should only be administered during pregnancy if absolutely necessary.

It is not known whether chloroprocaine is excreted in breast milk. If you are breastfeeding, you should inform your doctor, who will decide whether or not to administer Ampres.

Your doctor is responsible for deciding in each individual case whether you can drive or use machines.

3. How to use Ampres

This medicine will be administered to you by your doctor.

Regional anesthesia should only be administered by a doctor with the necessary knowledge and experience. The doctor in charge is responsible for taking the necessary measures to avoid injection into a blood vessel and for recognizing and treating undesirable effects.

The equipment, medicines, and personnel capable of dealing with a medical emergency should be available immediately.

Your doctor will decide what dose is suitable for you. The dose will depend on your state of health, the part of the body where the medicine is injected, and what the medicine is used for.

The maximum dose for healthy adults should not exceed 800 mg.

In patients with impaired general condition and in patients with confirmed concomitant disorders (e.g., vascular occlusion, arteriosclerosis, diabetic polyneuropathy), a reduced dose is indicated.

Use in children and adolescents

The safety and efficacy of Ampres in children have not been established. No data are available.

Ampres may be used to achieve local anesthesia by injecting the solution around a peripheral nerve or a network of nerves (perineural use), and the planned surgical procedure should not exceed 60 minutes.
