Xaracoll is indicated for the management of acute postsurgical pain. It is specifically designed for placement at the surgical site during or after surgical procedures to provide localized pain relief in adults.
Xaracoll contains bupivacaine, a long-acting local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals (sodium channel inhibition) in the targeted area. The collagen matrix allows for sustained release of the medication over an extended period, typically up to 72 hours.
Xaracoll is for local application only and should not be injected systemically. As with all local anesthetics, there are risks of systemic toxicity if absorbed in sufficient quantities. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding appropriate surgical applications and monitoring. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric populations have not been established.
