? Pre-existing central nervous system disease due to infection, tumors, or other causes.

? Spinal deformity and active disease (e.g., spondylitis, tumor) or recent injury (e.g., fracture) of the spinal column.

? If you have low blood pressure

? If you have bleeding

Children

Other medicines and Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used or may need to use any other medicine, even those obtained without a prescription.

Bupivacaine should be used with caution in patients receiving treatment with structurally similar agents to local anesthetics of the amide type, as it may increase the risk of systemic toxic effects.

The concomitant administration of heparin, anticoagulants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and plasma substitutes (dextran) may increase the tendency to bleeding due to the injection of the local anesthetic.

Similarly, coagulation status monitoring may be necessary in patients after concomitant medication with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, your doctor will prescribe Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan, taking into account the benefits and risks to your baby.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, your doctor will prescribe Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan, taking into account the benefits and risks to your baby.

Driving and using machines

Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan may temporarily alter your ability to move, attention, and coordination. Your doctor will indicate if you can drive or use machines.

3. How to use Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan

Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan should only be administered under the supervision of a doctor with experience in the use of this type of treatment.

Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan is administered by intrathecal injection.

The dose, rate of administration, and duration of treatment will vary depending on the anesthetic procedure, the area to be anesthetized, and the patient's weight, clinical situation, and response.

If more Bupivacaine Hyperbaric Physan is administered than it should be

As with other local anesthetics, due to excessive dosing, rapid absorption, or accidental injection into blood vessels, symptoms of intoxication may occur, which can manifest:

? On the central nervous system:

Characterized by anesthesia of the tongue, loss of consciousness, fainting, blurred vision, headache, tremors followed by drowsiness, convulsions, and unconsciousness.

? On the respiratory system:

Acceleration of breathing, followed by difficulty or respiratory arrest.

? On the cardiovascular system:

Decreased heart contraction capacity, low blood pressure (hypotension).

At high doses, vasodilation, collapse, conduction disorders, decreased heart rate, atrioventricular block, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest.

If toxic effects occur, the first measure is to stop the administration of the local anesthetic. The subsequent treatment consists of stopping the convulsions and ensuring adequate breathing with oxygen, if necessary by assisted breathing. If convulsions occur, they can be treated with 5-10 mg of diazepam. If hypotension exists, a vasopressor should be administered intravenously, for example, 15-30 mg of ephedrine.

In case of overdose or accidental administration, call the Toxicological Information Service. Tel. 91 5620420, indicating the medicine and the amount administered.

This information is intended only for healthcare professionalsThe solutions should be used immediately after opening. Any remaining solution should be discarded.

Since the specialty contains glucose, caramelization may appear during autoclave sterilization. For this reason, it should not be re-sterilized.

Regional anesthesia procedures should always be performed by properly trained professionals and in suitable areas. The necessary equipment and medications for monitoring and emergency resuscitation should be available. Intravenous access, e.g., i.v. perfusion, should be performed before starting intrathecal anesthesia. Doctors should take the necessary precautions to avoid intravascular injection and should receive adequate training and be familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of side effects, systemic toxicity, and other complications. If signs of acute systemic toxicity or total spinal block appear, the injection of the local anesthetic should be stopped immediately.

Patients with a general condition of weakness due to age or other compromised factors, such as partial or total heart conduction block, advanced liver or kidney dysfunction, require special attention, although regional anesthesia may be an optimal choice for surgery.

Like other local anesthetics, bupivacaine can cause acute toxic effects on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system if used in local anesthesia procedures that result in high blood concentrations of the drug. This is especially true after unintended intravascular injection.

In any case, and considering that the dosage should be calculated based on several factors, it is recommended to consult the information provided in the Technical Sheet before using this medicine.

Incompatibilities

In general, it is recommended not to mix spinal solutions with any product.
