Product Information

• Name: Ropivacaine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ropivacaine is an amide local anesthetic that is used to provide pain relief during surgery. It can also be used in other medical procedures, such as endoscopy and diagnostic angiography. Ropivacaine binds to the α1-acid glycoprotein in the blood, which prevents its passage into the central nervous system. Ropivacaine has been shown to have a polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) assay of clinical properties and a matrix effect on bupivacaine. Injection solutions containing ropivacaine are available with concentrations between 0.5% and 2%. The optimum concentration depends on the type of procedure being performed and the desired duration of anesthesia. Ropivacaine has also been shown to have cardiac effects, including an increase in heart rate, but does not appear to interfere with cardiac conduction or contractility. It also provides analgesia by blocking nerve impulses from reaching the brain.
