About Sensorcaine 0.5% Heavy 4 ml
Sensorcaine 0.5% Heavy 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. Sensorcaine 0.5% Heavy 4 ml is given in the form of an epidural injection at the spinal cord to prevent pain during labour and Caesarean section. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, and it might be constant or intermittent. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.
Sensorcaine 0.5% Heavy 4 ml contains 'Bupivacaine' that belongs to the group of medicines called 'amide-type anaesthetics'. Bupivacaine is a numbing medication that blocks the transmission of pain signals in the pain area by acting on the nervous system and nerves. This blockage causes the loss of pain sensation and promotes temperature, touch, deep pressure and muscle control. Thus, Sensorcaine 0.5% Heavy 4 ml helps in numbing the area and provides relief from pain.
Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain and response to treatment. Common side effects of Sensorcaine 0.5% Heavy 4 ml include weakness, numbness or tingling, restlessness, drowsiness, tremors or shakiness, headache, blurred vision, irregular heartbeat, chills or shivering, back pain, nausea and vomiting.
