Naropin®

(ropivacaine HCl) InjectionBRIEF SUMMARY

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Naropin is indicated for the production of local or regional anesthesia for surgery and for acute pain management. SurgicalAnesthesia: epidural block for surgery including cesarean section; major nerve block; local infiltration. Acute Pain Management: epidural continuous infusionor intermittent bolus, e.g., postoperative or labor; local infiltration.CONTRAINDICATIONS Naropin is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to ropivacaine or to any local anesthetic agent of the amide type.WARNINGS In performing Naropin blocks, unintended intravenous injection is possible and may result in cardiac arrhythmia or cardiac arrest. The potentialfor successful resuscitation has not been studied in humans. There have been rare reports of cardiac arrest during the use of Naropin for epidural anesthesiaor peripheral nerve blockade, the majority of which occurred after unintentional accidental intravascular administration in elderly patients and in patients withconcomitant heart disease. In some instances, resuscitation has been difficult. Should cardiac arrest occur, prolonged resuscitative efforts may be requiredto improve the probability of a successful outcome. Naropin should be administered in incremental doses. It is not recommended for emergency situations,where a fast onset of surgical anesthesia is necessary. Historically, pregnant patients were reported to have a high risk for cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac/circulatory arrest and death when 0.75% bupivacaine (another member of the amino amide class of local anesthetics) was inadvertently rapidly injectedintravenously. Prior to receiving major blocks the general condition of the patient should be optimized and the patient should have an i.v. line inserted. Allnecessary precautions should be taken to avoid intravascular injection. Local anesthetics should only be administered by clinicians who are well versed in thediagnosis and management of dose-related toxicity and other acute emergencies that may arise from the block to be employed, and then only after ensuringthe immediate (without delay) availability of oxygen, other resuscitative drugs, cardiopulmonary resuscitative equipment, and the personnel resourcesneeded for proper management of toxic reactions and related emergencies (See also ADVERSE REACTIONS, PRECAUTIONS, and MANAGEMENT OF LOCALANESTHETIC EMERGENCIES). Delay in proper management of dose-related toxicity, underventilation from any cause, and/or altered sensitivity may leadto the development of acidosis, cardiac arrest and, possibly, death. Solutions of Naropin should not be used for the production of obstetrical paracervicalblock anesthesia, retrobulbar block, or spinal anesthesia (subarachnoid block) due to insufficient data to support such use. Intravenous regional anesthesia(bier block) should not be performed due to a lack of clinical experience and the risk of attaining toxic blood levels of ropivacaine. Intra-articular infusionsof local anesthetics following arthroscopic and other surgical procedures is an unapproved use, and there have been post-marketing reports of chondrolysisin patients receiving such infusions. The majority of reported cases of chondrolysis have involved the shoulder joint; cases of gleno-humeral chondrolysishave been described in pediatric and adult patients following intra-articular infusions of local anesthetics with and without epinephrine for periods of 48 to 72hours. There is insufficient information to determine whether shorter infusion periods are not associated with these fi ndings. The time of onset of symptoms,such as joint pain, stiffness and loss of motion can be variable, but may begin as early as the 2nd month after surgery. Currently, there is no effective treatmentfor chondrolysis; patients who experienced chondrolysis have required additional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and some required arthroplasty orshoulder replacement. It is essential that aspiration for blood, or cerebrospinal fluid (where applicable), be done prior to injecting any local anesthetic, boththe original dose and all subsequent doses, to avoid intravascular or subarachnoid injection. However, a negative aspiration does not ensure against anintravascular or subarachnoid injection. A well-known risk of epidural anesthesia may be an unintentional subarachnoid injection of local anesthetic. Twoclinical studies have been performed to verify the safety of Naropin at a volume of 3 mL injected into the subarachnoid space since this dose represents anincremental epidural volume that could be unintentionally injected. The 15 and 22.5 mg doses injected resulted in sensory levels as high as T5 and T4,respectively. Anesthesia to pinprick started in the sacral dermatomes in 2-3 minutes, extended to the T10 level in 10-13 minutes and lasted for approximately2 hours. The results of these two clinical studies showed that a 3 mL dose did not produce any serious adverse events when spinal anesthesia blockade wasachieved. Naropin should be used with caution in patients receiving other local anesthetics or agents structurally related to amide-type local anesthetics, sincethe toxic effects of these drugs are additive. Patients treated with class III antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g., amiodarone) should be under close surveillance and ECGmonitoring considered, since cardiac effects may be additive.PRECAUTIONS: General: The safe and effective use of local anesthetics depends on proper dosage, correct technique, adequate precautions and readinessfor emergencies. Resuscitative equipment, oxygen and other resuscitative drugs should be available for immediate use. (See WARNINGS and ADVERSEREACTIONS.) The lowest dosage that results in effective anesthesia should be used to avoid high plasma levels and serious adverse events. Injections shouldbe made slowly and incrementally, with frequent aspirations before and during the injection to avoid intravascular injection. When a continuous cathetertechnique is used, syringe aspirations should also be performed before and during each supplemental injection. During the administration of epiduralanesthesia, it is recommended that a test dose of a local anesthetic with a fast onset be administered initially and that the patient be monitored for centralnervous system and cardiovascular toxicity, as well as for signs of unintended intrathecal administration before proceeding. When clinical conditions permit,consideration should be given to employing local anesthetic solutions, which contain epinephrine for the test dose because circulatory changes compatiblewith epinephrine may also serve as a warning sign of unintended intravascular injection. An intravascular injection is still possible even if aspirations for bloodare negative. Administration of higher than recommended doses of Naropin to achieve greater motor blockade or increased duration of sensory blockade mayresult in cardiovascular depression, particularly in the event of inadvertent intravascular injection. Tolerance to elevated blood levels varies with the physicalcondition of the patient. Debilitated, elderly patients and acutely ill patients should be given reduced doses commensurate with their age and physicalcondition. Local anesthetics should also be used with caution in patients with hypotension, hypovolemia or heart block. Careful and constant monitoring ofcardiovascular and respiratory vital signs (adequacy of ventilation) and the patient’s state of consciousness should be performed after each local anestheticinjection. It should be kept in mind at such times that restlessness, anxiety, incoherent speech, light-headedness, numbness and tingling of the mouth andlips, metallic taste, tinnitus, dizziness, blurred vision, tremors, twitching, depression, or drowsiness may be early warning signs of central nervous systemtoxicity. Because amide-type local anesthetics such as ropivacaine are metabolized by the liver, these drugs, especially repeat doses, should be used cautiouslyin patients with hepatic disease. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at a greater risk ofdeveloping toxic plasma concentrations. Local anesthetics should also be used with caution in patients with impaired cardiovascular function because theymay be less able to compensate for functional changes associated with the prolongation of A-V conduction produced by these drugs. Many drugs used duringthe conduct of anesthesia are considered potential triggering agents for malignant hyperthermia (MH). Amide-type local anesthetics are not known to triggerthis reaction. However, since the need for supplemental general anesthesia cannot be predicted in advance, it is suggested that a standard protocol for MHmanagement should be available. Epidural Anesthesia: During epidural administration, Naropin should be administered in incremental doses of 3 to 5 mLwith sufficient time between doses to detect toxic manifestations of unintentional intravascular or intrathecal injection. Syringe aspirations should also beperformed before and during each supplemental injection in continuous (intermittent) catheter techniques. An intravascular injection is still possible even ifaspirations for blood are negative. During the administration of epidural anesthesia, it is recommended that a test dose be administered initially and the effectsmonitored before the full dose is given. When clinical conditions permit, the test dose should contain an appropriate dose of epinephrine to serve as a warningof unintentional intravascular injection. If injected into a blood vessel, this amount of epinephrine is likely to produce a transient “epinephrine response” within45 seconds, consisting of an increase in heart rate and systolic blood pressure, circumoral pallor, palpitations and nervousness in the unsedated patient. Thesedated patient may exhibit only a pulse rate increase of 20 or more beats per minute for 15 or more seconds. Therefore, following the test dose, the heartshould be continuously monitored for a heart rate increase. Patients on beta-blockers may not manifest changes in heart rate, but blood pressure monitoringcan detect a rise in systolic blood pressure. A test dose of a shortacting amide anesthetic such as lidocaine is recommended to detect an unintentionalintrathecal administration. This will be manifested within a few minutes by signs of spinal block (e.g., decreased sensation of the buttocks, paresis of the legs,or, in the sedated patient, absent knee jerk). An intravascular or subarachnoid injection is still possible even if results of the test dose are negative. The testdose itself may produce a systemic toxic reaction, high spinal or epinephrine-induced cardiovascular effects. Use in Brachial Plexus Block: Ropivacineplasma concentrations may approach the threshold for central nervous system toxicity after the administration of 300 mg of ropivacaine for brachial plexusblock. Caution should be exercised when using the 300 mg dose. (See OVERDOSAGE.) The dose for a major nerve block must be adjusted according to thesite of administration and patient status. Supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks may be associated with a higher frequency of serious adverse reactions,regardless of the local anesthetic used. Use in Peripheral Nerve Block: Major peripheral nerve blocks may result in the administration of a large volumeof local anesthetic in highly vascularized areas, often close to large vessels where there is an increased risk of intravascular injection and/or rapid systemicabsorption, which can lead to high plasma concentrations. Use in Head and Neck Area: Small doses of local anesthetics injected into the head and neckarea may produce adverse reactions similar to systemic toxicity seen with unintentional intravascular injections of larger doses. The injection proceduresrequire the utmost care. Confusion, convulsions, respiratory depression, and/or respiratory arrest, and cardiovascular stimulation or depression have beenreported. These reactions may be due to intra-arterial injection of the local anesthetic with retrograde fl ow to the cerebral circulation. Patients receiving theseblocks should have their circulation and respiration monitored and be constantly observed. Resuscitative equipment and personnel for treating adversereactions should be immediately available. Dosage recommendations should not be exceeded. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.) Use in OphthalmicSurgery: The use of Naropin in retrobulbar blocks for ophthalmic surgery has not been studied. Until appropriate experience is gained, the use of Naropinfor such surgery is not recommended. Drug Interactions: Specific trials studying the interaction between ropivacaine and class III antiarrhythmic drugs(e.g., amiodarone) have not been performed, but caution is advised (see WARNINGS). Naropin should be used with caution in patients receiving other localanesthetics or agents structurally related to amide-type local anesthetics, since the toxic effects of these drugs are additive. Cytochrome P4501A2 is involvedin the formation of 3-hydroxy ropivacaine, the major metabolite. In vivo, the plasma clearance of ropivacaine was reduced by 70% during coadministrationof fl uvoxamine (25 mg bid for 2 days), a selective and potent CYP1A2 inhibitor. Thus strong inhibitors of cytochrome P4501A2, such as fluvoxamine, givenconcomitantly during administration of Naropin, can interact with Naropin leading to increased ropivacaine plasma levels. Caution should be exercised whenCYP1A2 inhibitors are coadministered. Possible interactions with drugs known to be metabolized by CYP1A2 via competitive inhibition such as theophyllineand imipramine may also occur. Coadministration of a selective and potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, ketoconazole (100 mg bid for 2 days with ropivacaine infusionadministered 1 hour after ketoconazole) caused a 15% reduction in in-vivo plasma clearance of ropivacaine. Pregnancy Category B: There are noadequate or well-controlled studies in pregnant women of the effects of Naropin on the developing fetus. Naropin should only be used during pregnancy if thebenefits outweigh the risk. Labor and Delivery: Local anesthetics, including ropivacaine, rapidly cross the placenta, and when used for epidural block cancause varying degrees of maternal, fetal and neonatal toxicity (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and PHARMACOKINETICS). The incidence and degree oftoxicity depend upon the procedure performed, the type and amount of drug used, and the technique of drug administration. Adverse reactions in the parturient,fetus and neonate involve alterations of the central nervous system, peripheral vascular tone and cardiac function. Maternal hypotension has resulted fromregional anesthesia with Naropin for obstetrical pain relief. Local anesthetics produce vasodilation by blocking sympathetic nerves. Elevating the patient’s legsand positioning her on her left side will help prevent decreases in blood pressure. The fetal heart rate also should be monitored continuously, and electronicfetal monitoring is highly advisable. Epidural anesthesia has been reported to prolong the second stage of labor by removing the patient’s reflex urge to beardown or by interfering with motor function. Spontaneous vertex delivery occurred more frequently in patients receiving Naropin than in those receiving

bupivacaine. Nursing Mothers: Some local anesthetic drugs are excreted in human milk and caution should be exercised when they are administered to anursing woman. The excretion of ropivacaine or its metabolites in human milk has not been studied. Based on the milk/plasma concentration ratio in rats, theestimated daily dose to a pup will be about 4% of the dose given to the mother. Assuming that the milk/plasma concentration in humans is of the same order,the total Naropin dose to which the baby is exposed by breast-feeding is far lower than by exposure in utero in pregnant women at term (see Precautions).Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of Naropin in pediatric patients have not been established. Geriatric Use: Of the 2,978 subjects that wereadministered Naropin Injection in 71 controlled and uncontrolled clinical studies, 803 patients (27%) were 65 years of age or older, which includes 127patients (4%) 75 years of age and over. Naropin Injection was found to be safe and effective in the patients in these studies. Clinical data in one publishedarticle indicate that differences in various pharmacodynamic measures were observed with increasing age. In one study, the upper level of analgesia increasedwith age, the maximum decrease of mean arterial pressure (MAP) declined with age during the fi rst hour after epidural administration, and the intensity ofmotor blockade increased with age. This drug and its metabolites are known to be excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may begreater in patients with impaired renal function. Elderly patients are more likely to have decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, as well as concomitantdisease. Therefore, care should be taken in dose selection, starting at the low end of the dosage range, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. (SeePHARMACOKINETICS, Elimination.)ADVERSE REACTIONS Reactions to ropivacaine are characteristic of those associated with other amidetype local anesthetics. A major cause of adversereactions to this group of drugs may be associated with excessive plasma levels, which may be due to overdosage, unintentional intravascular injection orslow metabolic degradation. The reported adverse events are derived from clinical studies conducted in the U.S. and other countries. The reference drugwas usually bupivacaine. The studies used a variety of premedications, sedatives, and surgical procedures of varying length. A total of 3,988 patients havebeen exposed to Naropin at concentrations up to 1.0% in clinical trials. Each patient was counted once for each type of adverse event. Incidence ≥5%:For the indications of epidural administration in surgery, cesarean section, postoperative pain management, peripheral nerve block, and local infiltration, thefollowing treatment-emergent adverse events were reported with an incidence of ≥5% in all clinical studies (N=3988): hypotension (37.0%), nausea (24.8%),vomiting (11.6%), bradycardia (9.3%), fever (9.2%), pain (8.0%), postoperative complications (7.1%), anemia (6.1%), paresthesia (5.6%), headache (5.1%),pruritus (5.1%), and back pain (5.0%). Incidence 1-5%: Urinary retention, dizziness, rigors, hypertension, tachycardia, anxiety, oliguria, hypoesthesia,chest pain, hypokalemia, dyspnea, cramps, and urinary tract infection. Incidence in Controlled Clinical Trials: The reported adverse events are derivedfrom controlled clinical studies with Naropin (concentrations ranged from 0.125% to 1.0% for Naropin and 0.25% to 0.75% for bupivacaine) in the U.S. andother countries involving 3,094 patients. Tables 3A and 3B list adverse events (number and percentage) that occurred in at least 1% of Naropin-treated patientsin these studies. The majority of patients receiving concentrations higher than 5.0 mg/mL (0.5%) were treated with Naropin.

OVERDOSAGE Acute emergencies from local anesthetics are generally related to high plasma levels encountered, or large doses administered, duringtherapeutic use of local anesthetics or to unintended subarachnoid or intravascular injection of local anesthetic solution. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS,WARNINGS, and PRECAUTIONS.)MANAGEMENT OF LOCAL ANESTHETIC EMERGENCIES: Therapy with Naropin should be discontinued at the fi rst sign of toxicity. No specificinformation is available for the treatment of toxicity with Naropin; therefore, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. The fi rst consideration isprevention, best accomplished by incremental injection of Naropin, careful and constant monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory vital signs and thepatient’s state of consciousness after each local anesthetic and during continuous infusion. At the first sign of change in mental status, oxygen should beadministered. The fi rst step in the management of systemic toxic reactions, as well as underventilation or apnea due to unintentional subarachnoid injectionof drug solution, consists of immediate attention to the establishment and maintenance of a patent airway and effective assisted or controlled ventilation with100% oxygen with a delivery system capable of permitting immediate positive airway pressure by mask. Circulation should be assisted as necessary. Thismay prevent convulsions if they have not already occurred. If necessary, use drugs to control convulsions. Intravenous barbiturates, anticonvulsant agents, ormuscle relaxants should only be administered by those familiar with their use. Immediately after the institution of these ventilatory measures, the adequacy ofthe circulation should be evaluated. Supportive treatment of circulatory depression may require administration of intravenous fluids, and, when appropriate,a vasopressor dictated by the clinical situation (such as ephedrine or epinephrine to enhance myocardial contractile force). Should cardiac arrest occur,prolonged resuscitative efforts may be required to improve the probability of a successful outcome. The mean dosages of ropivacaine producing seizures,after intravenous infusion in dogs, nonpregnant and pregnant sheep were 4.9, 6.1 and 5.9 mg/kg, respectively. These doses were associated with peakarterial total plasma concentrations of 11.4, 4.3 and 5.0 μg/mL, respectively. In human volunteers given intravenous Naropin, the mean (min-max) maximumtolerated total and free arterial plasma concentrations were 4.3 (3.4-5.3) and 0.6 (0.3-0.9) μg/mL respectively, at which time moderate CNS symptoms(muscle twitching) were noted. Clinical data from patients experiencing local anesthetic induced convulsions demonstrated rapid development of hypoxia,hypercarbia and acidosis within a minute of the onset of convulsions. These observations suggest that oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide productionare greatly increased during local anesthetic convulsions and emphasize the importance of immediate and effective ventilation with oxygen, which mayavoid cardiac arrest. If difficulty is encountered in the maintenance of a patent airway or if prolonged ventilatory support (assisted or controlled) is indicated,endotracheal intubation, employing drugs and techniques familiar to the clinician, may be indicated after initial administration of oxygen by mask. The supineposition is dangerous in pregnant women at term because of aortocaval compression by the gravid uterus. Therefore, during treatment of systemic toxicity,maternal hypotension or fetal bradycardia following regional block, the parturient should be maintained in the left lateral decubitus position if possible, ormanual displacement of the uterus off the great vessels should be accomplished. Resuscitation of obstetrical patients may take longer than resuscitation ofnonpregnant patients and closed-chest cardiac compression may be ineffective. Rapid delivery of the fetus may improve the response to resuscitative efforts.
