BUPIVICAINE: A long-acting local anesthetic for post-surgical analgesia

    Since we found in 1984 that polio survivors are TWICE as sensitive to pain as compared to non-polio survivors, you should talk to your surgeon about using BUPIVICAINE before you have surgery.

Local anesthetic injected into the surgical site is an important part of postoperative pain relief. A single dose of BUPIVICAINE injected into the surgical site has been associated with both pain relief for 72 hours and a 45% reduction in total opioid consumption at 72 hours. Source Article
