Naropin Drug Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Naropin (ropivacaine hcl) is used as a local (in only one area) anesthesia for a spinal block, also called an epidural. The medication is used to provide anesthesia during a surgery or C-section, or to ease labor pains. It is an anesthetic. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, back pain, fever, itching, numbness or tingly feeling, or problems with urination or sexual function.
The dose of Naropin depends on many factors, including the procedure being performed, the area to be numbed, the vascularity of the tissues, the number of neuronal segments to be blocked, the depth of anesthesia and degree of muscle relaxation required, the duration of anesthesia desired, individual tolerance, and the physical condition of the patient. Naropin may interact with birth control pills or other hormones, cimetidine, cyclobenzaprine, interferon, ondansetron, propranolol, theophylline, verapamil, warfarin, heart rhythm medications, antidepressants, or medicines to treat psychiatric disorders. Tell your doctor all medications you use. Naropin is not expected to be harmful to a fetus. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known whether this medication passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
