Bupivacaine is a local anaesthetic. It numbs one part of the body by blocking the nerve signals that carry pain. It is a prescription medicine that is given as an injection or drip by a doctor or other trained healthcare staff. You do not give it to yourself.
- Numbing part of the body during an operation, including some Caesarean sections
- Relieving pain, for example labour pain or pain after an operation
- Some forms are used to manage pain after surgery and are injected by a healthcare provider during the operation
- It can be given near the nerves to be numbed, or as an epidural injection
Get medical help straight away if
- Tell the staff looking after you straight away, or call for emergency help, for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing, trouble breathing or swallowing, a widespread itchy rash, or fainting.
- Tell staff at once if you feel dizzy, or have numbness of the lips, mouth or tongue, ringing in the ears, hearing or vision problems, muscle twitching, shaking, or feel very anxious or drowsy. These can be signs of too much medicine and can lead to fits or loss of consciousness.
- Get urgent help for chest pain, an irregular or very fast heartbeat, or slow or difficult breathing.
- Tell staff about yellow skin or eyes.
