Rocaine 5mg Injection must be administered by healthcare professionals. It blocks the pain signals to reach the brain by temporarily numbing the surgical area and helps to perform a painless procedure.
The most common side effects of this medicine include hypotension, nausea, vomiting, slow heart rate, fever, anemia, paresthesia, headache, itching, and back pain. These are usually mild and short-lived. If the numbness or other side effects persist at the injection site, consult your doctor without delay.
Before using Rocaine 5mg Injection, it is very important to tell your doctor if you have any underlying heart disease or are taking medicines for heart rhythm problems. Ask your doctor for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, it is not safe to drive or operate heavy machinery while on medication, as you may feel dizzy.
Ropivacaine acts by blocking the passage of nerve signal or nerve impulse conduction. Thereby reducing the pain and muscle movement.
Ropivacaine pharmacokinetics are highly dependent on the dose, route of administration, and patient condition. Following epidural administration ropivacaine undergoes complete and biphasic absorption. Following intravascular infusion, ropivacaine has a steady-state volume of distribution of 41 ± 7 liters.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
