Intra-Epicaine 2.0% w/v Solution for Injection

Mepivacaine is indicated for infiltration, nerve block, intra-articular and epidural anaesthesia in horses.

Special precautions for use in animals

Care should be taken to avoid intra-vascular injection by aspiration prior to and during administration.

The analgesic effect of mepivacaine, when used as part of a lameness investigation, begins to subside after 45-60 minutes. However, sufficient analgesia may persist to affect gait beyond two hours.
