LEVOBUPIVACAINA KABI 2.5mg / ml solution for injection / infusion medication leaflet

N01BB10 • levobupivacaine • Nervous system | Anesthetics, local | Amides

Levobupivacaine is a local anesthetic used to block pain during surgical procedures, childbirth, or other medical interventions. It belongs to the class of amide-type local anesthetics and works by inhibiting the conduction of nerve impulses.

The medication is administered by injection into the affected area or near the nerves transmitting pain. It is preferred over bupivacaine due to its better safety profile, with a lower risk of toxic effects on the heart and central nervous system.

Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, low blood pressure, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, more severe complications such as systemic toxicity may occur.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking and strictly follow medical instructions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a specialist before use.
