Marcaine (Bupivacaine Hydrochloride) with Epinephrine1:200,000 for Injection 0.25% Multi-Dose 50mL Vial. Marcaine Bupivacaine Hydrochloride Injection, USP Marcaine With Epinephrine 1:200,000 (as bitartrate) Bupivacaine Hydrochloride and Epinephrine Injection, USP.
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is 2-Piperidinecarboxamide, 1-butyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-,monohydrochloride, monohydrate, a white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in 95 percent ethanol,soluble in water, and slightly soluble in chloroform or acetone. It has the following structural formula: Epinephrine is (-)-3,4-Dihydroxy-α-[(methylamino) methyl] benzyl alcohol. It has the following structural formula: MARCAINE is available in sterile isotonic solutions with and without epinephrine (as bitartrate)1:200,000 for injection via local infiltration, peripheral nerve block, and caudal and lumbar epidural blocks. Solutions of MARCAINE may be autoclaved if they do not contain epinephrine. Solutions are clear and colorless. Bupivacaine is related chemically and pharmacologically to the aminoacyl local anesthetics. It is ahomologue of mepivacaine and is chemically related to lidocaine. All three of these anesthetics contain
an mide linkage between the aromatic nucleus and the amino, or piperidine group. They differ in this respect from the procaine-type local anesthetics, which have an ester linkage.
MARCAINE — Sterile isotonic solutions containing sodium chloride. In multiple-dose vials, each mL also contains 1 mg methylparaben as antiseptic preservative. The pH of these solutions is adjusted to between 4 and 6.5 with sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid.
