It produces local numbness and relieves pain. Bipivac 0.5%Inj 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.

Bipivac 0.5%Inj contains 'Bupivacaine' that belongs to the group of medicines called 'amide-type anaesthetics'.

This blockage causes the loss of pain sensation and promotes temperature, touch, deep pressure and muscle control. Thus, Bipivac 0.5%Inj helps in numbing the area and provides relief from pain.
