Ropivacaine

Ropivacaine is a type of local anesthetic medication used to numb a specific area or part of the body for a medical procedure. It is commonly used for epidural and spinal blocks, nerve blocks, and regional anesthesia for surgery. Ropivacaine works by blocking nerve signals to the brain, causing temporary numbness in the area where it is injected. It is available in various forms, including injectable solutions and patches.
