Posimir is indicated for the management of postoperative pain at the surgical site. It is specifically used for infiltration into the surgical area to provide extended pain relief following surgical procedures.
As a local anesthetic, Posimir works by blocking sodium channels in nerve fibers, thereby preventing the generation and conduction of nerve impulses. This blocks pain signals from the surgical site, providing localized numbness and pain relief for an extended duration.
Posimir should only be administered by qualified healthcare professionals directly into the surgical site. It carries risks of systemic absorption, which may lead to adverse effects affecting the central nervous or cardiovascular systems. Patients should be monitored for signs of toxicity. It is not intended for epidural, intrathecal, or intravascular administration.
