1. What Mepivacaine Physan is and what it is used for

Mepivacaine Physan is a local anesthetic (an agent that reduces or eliminates sensations, affecting a particular region) that belongs to the amide subgroup.

Mepivacaine Physan has been prescribed to you to provide an anesthetic effect.

2. What you need to know before starting to use Mepivacaine Physan

Do not useMepivacaine Physan

if you are allergic to mepivacaine hydrochloride or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
if you are allergic to any other local anesthetic of the same group (e.g., bupivacaine, lidocaine).
if you have heart rhythm disorders. Ask your doctor for advice, as Mepivacaine Physan may not be suitable for you.
if you have uncontrolled epilepsy.
if you have acute intermittent porphyria (a hereditary metabolic disorder that affects the nervous system and can cause mental disorders).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Mepivacaine Physan:

if you have any heart problems.
if you have severe liver disease.
if you have any kidney problems.
if you are a weakened or elderly patient.
For athletes, there is a possibility of positive results in anti-doping tests.

Other medicines and Mepivacaine Physan

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medicine.

Mepivacaine Physan should be used with caution if you are receiving treatment with medicines with a similar structure to local anesthetics, such as those used for heart rhythm disorders (so-called class Ib antiarrhythmics, such as lidocaine), as this increases the risk of side effects.

Prolonged treatment with antiarrhythmics (medicines to control heart rhythm), psychotropic drugs (medicines that act on mental activity), or anticonvulsants (medicines against convulsions) may reduce sensitivity to anesthetics.

You should be careful if you are taking central nervous system depressant medicines at the same time, as they may increase depressive effects.

Local irritation, swelling, or edema may occur when used at the same time with certain disinfectants.

Blood coagulation inhibitors (medicines to prevent blood clots) and anti-inflammatory medicines may increase the risk of bleeding.

Use ofMepivacaine Physanwith alcohol

Excessive alcohol consumption may reduce sensitivity to anesthetics.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

Your doctor will prescribe Mepivacaine Physan, taking into account the benefit to you and the risk to your baby.

Mepivacaine Physan is excreted in breast milk, but the risk of the child suffering adverse reactions does not seem likely if the recommended doses are respected.

Driving and using machines

The use of Mepivacaine Physan may have a mild effect on mental functions and may alter movement and coordination for a time.

Mepivacaine Physancontains sodium

This medicine contains 31.5 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt/cooking salt) per ampoule. This is equivalent to 1.6% of the maximum daily sodium intake recommended for an adult.

3. How to use Mepivacaine Physan

Follow your doctor's instructions for administering Mepivacaine Physan exactly. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Mepivacaine Physan will be administered by your doctor in the form of an injection.

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

If you use moreMepivacaine Physanthan you should

In case of overdose, adverse reactions may occur at the heart and blood vessel level: low blood pressure and altered heart rhythm. Adverse effects may also occur at the central nervous system level: agitation, sensation of numbness of lips, tongue, and around the mouth, dizziness, vision and hearing disturbances, and ringing in the ears. Difficulty speaking, muscle stiffness, or spasms are more severe symptoms that precede generalized convulsions.

If these signs of toxicity appear, the injection of the anesthetic should be interrupted immediately.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult the Toxicology Information Service. Telephone 91 562 04 20.

If you have any other doubts about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Rare side effects (observed in 1 to 10 out of 10,000 patients/people)

This information is intended only for healthcare professionals

Local and regional anesthetic procedures, except for those of a more trivial nature, should always be performed by properly trained professionals and in areas with immediate access to resuscitation equipment and medicines. Specialists should receive appropriate training for these procedures and be familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of side effects, toxicity, or other complications.

When performing major blocks, a catheter should be inserted before injecting the anesthetic.

Taking this into account, as well as the anesthetic technique and the situation of the patients who will receive the treatment, the administration of the specialty should be carried out according to the guidelines described and the recommendations included in the different sections of the Technical Data Sheet ("Posology and method of administration"; "Special warnings and precautions for use"), so it is necessary to refer to the text of the same to ensure the correct use of the product.

The solutions should be used immediately after opening. Any remaining portion of the solution used should be discarded.

Incompatibilities

From a pH > 6.5, there is a risk of precipitation. This characteristic should be taken into account when adding alkaline solutions, such as carbonates.
