About Bupibloc Heavy 20 mg Injection 4 ml
Bupibloc Heavy 20 mg Injection 4 ml belongs to the class of 'local anaesthetics', primarily used to reduce pain and discomfort during labour, surgery, dental treatment and other medical procedures. It produces local numbness and relieves pain. Bupibloc Heavy 20 mg Injection 4 ml is given in the form of an epidural injection at the spinal cord to prevent pain during labour and Caesarean section.
