Just got prescribed Naropin 5mg/ml 20ml for an upcoming surgery. Anyone have experience with this?
I've been trying to find more information about this medication with little luck on the official websites. Anyone have experience with this medicine or can explain how it compares to Lidocaine? They told me it's less toxic than Lidocaine. True or false?
Naropin is indeed less toxic than Lidocaine. I've seen the studies. It has a better safety profile, especially for longer procedures. But always good to be aware of the side effects!
I had an epidural done with Naropin during the birth! It worked well, no major side effects, just some itching and nausea. But I had a great doctor, so that definitely helped. Definitely less toxic than Lidocaine!
I'm in the healthcare industry, and I've never heard of anyone having serious problems with it. Of course, everyone is different, so keep an eye out for any adverse reactions.
Ropivacaine is the generic name. Some people report feeling a bit woozy or dizzy after, but that usually passes. If you have any concerns, tell your doctor — they can adjust the dosage or switch to another anesthetic if needed.
This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know how long the numbness or tingling sensation typically lasts after the injection? I had no issues, but a friend said they felt numb for hours.
