Disclaimer and Important Safety Information~Disclaimer~EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) is indicated for administration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia.~EXPAREL is contraindicated in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia.~The recommended dose of EXPAREL is based on the size of the surgical site, the volume required to cover the area, and individual patient factors that may impact the safety of an amide local anesthetic. The maximum dose of EXPAREL should not exceed 266 mg.~EXPAREL can be administered undiluted (20 mL) or diluted to increase volume up to a total of 300 mL (final concentration of 0.89 mg/mL [ie, 1:14 dilution by volume]) with normal (0.9%) saline or lactated Ringer's solution.~Bupivacaine HCl may be administered immediately before EXPAREL or admixed in the same syringe, as long as the ratio of the milligram dose of bupivacaine HCl to EXPAREL does not exceed 1:2. Admixing may impact the pharmacokinetic and/or physiochemical properties of EXPAREL, and this effect is concentration dependent. The toxic effects of these drugs are additive and their administration should be used with caution, including monitoring for neurological and cardiovascular effects related to toxicity.~Other than with bupivacaine, EXPAREL should not be admixed with other drugs prior to administration.~The following video represents an individual clinician experience with and methodology for using EXPAREL.~Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc., recognizes that there are other methodologies for administering local anesthetics, as well as individual patient considerations, when selecting the dose for a specific procedure.~Please see Important Safety Information below and refer to the Full Prescribing Information for EXPAREL available at EXPAREL.com.~Important Safety Information~• EXPAREL is contraindicated in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia~• In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions (incidence ?10%) following EXPAREL administration were nausea, constipation, and vomiting~• EXPAREL is not recommended to be used in the following patient population: patients <18 years old and/or pregnant patients~• Because amide-type local anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are metabolized by the liver, EXPAREL should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic disease. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at a greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations~Warnings and Precautions Specific to EXPAREL~• EXPAREL is not recommended for the following types or routes of administration: epidural, intrathecal, regional nerve blocks, or intravascular or intra-articular use~• Non-bupivacaine-based local anesthetics, including lidocaine, may cause an immediate release of bupivacaine from EXPAREL if administered together locally. The administration of EXPAREL may follow the administration of lidocaine after a delay of 20 minutes or more. Formulations of bupivacaine other than EXPAREL should not be administered within 96 hours following administration of EXPAREL~Warnings and Precautions for Bupivacaine-Containing Products~• Central Nervous System (CNS) Reactions: There have been reports of adverse neurologic reactions with the use of local anesthetics. These include persistent anesthesia and paresthesias. CNS reactions are characterized by excitation and/or depression~• Cardiovascular System Reactions:Toxic blood concentrations depress cardiac conductivity and excitability which may lead to dysrhythmias sometimes leading to death~• Allergic Reactions: Allergic-type reactions (eg, anaphylaxis and angioedema) are rare and may occur as a result of hypersensitivity to the local anesthetic or to other formulation ingredients~• Chondrolysis: There have been reports of chondrolysis (mostly in the shoulder joint) following intra-articular infusion of local anesthetics, which is an unapproved use~Please refer to full Prescribing Information.
