Brief Summary   Combined use of the Bupivacaine and Fentanyl Citrate in the treatment of post-operative pain and in labour pain is well established in India. There are number of published Clinical Studies concluding the effectiveness and safety of combined administration of Bupivacaine 1.25 mg/ml + Fentanyl Citrate 2 μg/ml as Epidural Injection, by academic institutions in India, for the control of post-operative pain in more than 228 patients collectively and for the control of labour pain in more than 170 parturient women collectively.
Moreover, the fixed dose combination of the Bupivacaine + Fentanyl Citrate is already approved in United Kingdom, New Zealand and Switzerland since 5 to 10 years, for epidural analgesia during labour and post-operative pain, by administration as bolus, continuous infusion as well as intermittent boluses.
Based on this information, Troikaa has proposed the clinical trial of fixed dose combination of Bupivacaine + Fentanyl Citrate solution for epidural injection.
