Overview

Ropivacaine hydrochloride is a long-acting local anesthetic of the amide type.

Ropivacaine hydrochloride is a long-acting local anesthetic of the amino amide class. Local anesthetics block the generation and conduction of nerve impulses possibly by increasing the threshold for electrical excitation, slowing the propagation of the nerve impulse, and reducing the rate of rise of the action potential. Progression of anesthesia is related to the diameter, myelination, and conduction velocity of affected nerve fibers.

Unlike most other local anesthetics, the addition of epinephrine has no substantial effect on the onset time or duration of ropivacaine. The onset, depth, and duration of sensory block with ropivacaine are generally similar to bupivacaine; however, the depth and duration of motor block are less than bupivacaine.

Ropivacaine is structurally related to bupivacaine; however, unlike bupivacaine, which exists in its racemic form, ropivacaine is an S-enantiomer. Ropivacaine is less lipophilic and less likely to penetrate large myelinated nerve fibers than bupivacaine. These physiochemical and stereoselective differences are thought to contribute to the lower cardiac and CNS toxicity of ropivacaine compared with bupivacaine.

Dosing

Dosage of ropivacaine hydrochloride is expressed in terms of ropivacaine hydrochloride. Dosage of ropivacaine hydrochloride varies with the anesthetic procedure, degree of anesthesia required, surgical site, and individual patient response. The smallest dose and lowest concentration required to produce the desired effect should be used. Rapid administration of a large single dose should be avoided. The manufacturer's dosage recommendations are based on the expected average dosage range necessary to produce a successful block in adults and should be used as a general guideline.

Drug interactions

No formal drug interaction studies have been performed to date with ropivacaine hydrochloride.

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to ropivacaine hydrochloride or other local anesthetics of the amide type.

Adverse reactions
