1. What is Bupivacaina Grindeks and what is it used for
Bupivacaina Grindeks contains the active substance bupivacaine hydrochloride. It belongs to a group of
medicines called local anesthetics.
Bupivacaina Grindeks is used to numb (anesthetize) parts of the body. It is used to
stop the perception of pain or to relieve pain. It can be used:
- to numb parts of the body during surgical procedures (operations) in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age;
- to relieve pain in adults and children over 1 year of age.
2. What you need to know before you are given Bupivacaine Grindeks
You must not be given Bupivacaine Grindeks:
- if you are allergic to bupivacaine hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you are allergic to other local anaesthetics similar to it (e.g. lidocaine or ropivacaine) as the risk of allergy to Bupivacaine Grindeks is increased;
- if you have a skin infection at the site where the anaesthetic is to be given;
- if you have cardiogenic shock (a condition in which the heart does not provide enough blood to the body);
- if you have hypovolaemic shock (very low blood pressure leading to collapse);
- if you have blood coagulation problems;
- if you have inflammation of the spinal cord or brain (meningitis, poliomyelitis or spondylitis);
- if you have a persistent headache caused by bleeding in the brain;
- if you have problems with the spinal cord caused by anaemia;
- if you have septicaemia (septic inflammation of the blood);
- if you have had a recent trauma, tuberculosis or spinal tumour;
- if you are undergoing obstetric paracervical block (a type of anaesthesia given during labour).
If any of the above conditions apply to you, your doctor must not give you this medicine.
If you are unsure, ask your doctor before you are given this medicine.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before using Bupivacaine Grindeks
- if you suffer from heart, kidney or liver disease as your doctor may need to adjust the dose of the medicine;
- if you are elderly or debilitated;
- if you suffer from partial or complete blockage of the heart’s conduction system;
- if you are in late pregnancy;
- if you are being treated with Class III antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g. amiodarone);
- if you have fluid retention in the abdominal area;
- if you have a stomach tumour;
- if you have a reduced blood volume (hypovolaemia);
- if you have fluid in the lungs.
Children
Children over 12 years of age require special attention because some regional anaesthesia procedures (loss of pain sensation) using Bupivacaine Grindeks during surgical procedures have not been determined in this population.
The safety and efficacy of Bupivacaine Grindeks for children under 1 year of age have not been established.
Other medicines and Bupivacaine Grindeks
Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This is important because Bupivacaine Grindeks can affect other medicines and other medicines can affect Bupivacaine Grindeks.
In particular, tell your doctor about the following medicines:
- medicines used to treat irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), e.g. medicines with lidocaine, mexiletine or amiodarone;
- medicines used to stop blood clotting (anticoagulants).
The doctor needs to have a complete picture of other medicines to calculate the required dose correctly.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, ask your doctor for advice before you are given this medicine.
Driving and operating machinery
After administration of Bupivacaine Grindeks you may feel sleepy and your reaction speed may be altered. The doctor will decide whether you can actively participate in traffic or use machinery and tools.
Bupivacaine Grindeks contains sodium
This medicine contains 31.48 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) in each vial (10 ml). This is equivalent to 1.57% of the recommended maximum daily intake of sodium for an adult.
3. How Bupivacaina Grindeks will be administered to you
The doctor will administer Bupivacaina Grindeks to you. The required dose will be calculated by the doctor based on the
necessary degree of pain relief and the part of the body where the medicine will be administered.
It will also depend on your body weight, age and general state of health. Usually a single
dose is sufficient, but in the case of a prolonged surgical operation, another dose may be administered
or the medicine may be administered as a slow infusion.
The site of administration depends on what the purpose of administering the medicine is. The
doctor administers the medicine at one of the following sites:
- near the part of the body that needs to be numbed;
- in an area away from the part of the body that needs to be numbed. This applies in cases where you are given an epidural injection (injection into the spine, around the spinal cord).
When Bupivacaina Grindeks is injected in one of these ways, the nerve fibres interrupt the
conduction of impulses/pain to the brain. At the end of the operation, this effect will gradually
disappear.
Use in children and adolescents
Depending on the desired pain relief (loss of pain perception), Bupivacaina Grindeks is
slowly administered into the epidural space (the area surrounding the spinal canal), or in other parts
of the body by an anaesthetist who has experience in anaesthetic techniques in children. The dose depends
on the patient's age and body weight and is determined by an anaesthetist.
If you are given more Bupivacaina Grindeks than you should
Serious side effects of an overdose of Bupivacaina Grindeks are unlikely. Such side
effects require special treatment and the doctor treating you with this medicine is
familiar with solving such situations. The first symptoms of an overdose with Bupivacaina Grindeks
are generally:
- feeling dizzy, confused;
- numbness of the lips and around the mouth;
- numbness of the tongue;
- hearing problems;
- vision problems.
To reduce the risk of serious side effects, the doctor will stop administering Bupivacaina
Grindeks as soon as these signs appear. This means that if you have any of these
signs, you should inform the doctor immediately.
More serious effects of an overdose of Bupivacaina Grindeks include muscle twitching, muscle
spasms and loss of sensation.
