BUPIVACAINE HYDROCHLORIDE, the active ingredient in MARCAINE, is an amide-type local anesthetic that works by inhibiting the influx of sodium ions into the nerve cells, thereby preventing the initiation and transmission of nerve impulses. This results in a loss of sensation, including pain, in the area where MARCAINE is administered.
