What Experts Say

Bupivacaine blocks nerve signals in a specific area, which numbs pain without affecting consciousness.

Its effect lasts longer than many other local anesthetics, making it useful for surgeries and prolonged labor pain relief.

Accidental injection into a blood vessel can affect the heart, so it is given only in a hospital or clinic setting by a trained professional.
