Bupivacaine Hydrochloride Injection (Anawin )
How it Works:
Bupivacaine hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Anawin, is a local anesthetic medication belonging to the amide group. It works by blocking nerve impulses in a specific area of the body, resulting in temporary loss of sensation or pain relief. Bupivacaine achieves this by inhibiting the influx of sodium ions through sodium channels in neuronal membranes, thereby preventing the generation and propagation of action potentials along nerve fibers. This local anesthetic effect provides pain relief during surgical procedures, obstetric interventions, and postoperative pain management.
