About Anawin Heavy 5% Injection 4 ml
Anawin Heavy 5% Injection 4 ml belongs to the class of ‘local anaesthetics’, primarily used to reduce pain and discomfort during labour, surgery, dental treatment and other medical procedures. It produces local numbness and relieves pain. Anawin Heavy 5% Injection 4 ml is given in the form of an epidural injection at the spinal cord to prevent pain during labour and Caesarean section. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or intermittent. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person.

Anawin Heavy 5% Injection 4 ml contains ‘Bupivacaine’ that belongs to the group of medicines called ‘amide-type anaesthetics’.
