What is Bupivacaine?

Exparel Liposomal is a long-acting local anesthetic containing bupivacaine, designed for infiltration and perineural use. It provides extended pain relief by slowly releasing the active ingredient.

What is Bupivacaine used for?

Exparel Liposomal is primarily used for postoperative pain management. It is administered via infiltration or perineural injection to provide prolonged analgesia. This formulation is often considered for surgical procedures where extended pain relief is desired.

What are the side effects of Bupivacaine?

Exparel Liposomal works by blocking nerve signals in the area where it is administered, leading to reduced pain sensation. The liposomal formulation ensures a gradual release of bupivacaine, which can help manage pain over an extended period.
