Please refer to the accompanying full Prescribing Information.
EXPAREL is indicated for single-dose infiltration in adults to produce postsurgical local analgesia and as an interscalene
brachial plexus nerve block to produce postsurgical regional analgesia. Safety and efficacy have not been
established in other nerve blocks.

PILLAR STUDY
Please see Important Safety Information and accompanying full Prescribing Information. 32
PILLARSTUDY DESIGN1
(NCT02713490)
16 study sites in the United States enrolled 139 patients
All patients were required to stay in the hospital for 48 hours post-op to capture all data required to assess primary endpoints
All surgeons were trained on and required to follow a standard infiltration technique and protocol as described in the published administration protocol for TKAs
Double-blind

Important Safety Information
EXPAREL is contraindicated in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia.
Adverse reactions reported with an incidence greater than or equal to 10% following EXPAREL administration via infiltration were nausea, constipation, and vomiting; adverse reactions reported with an incidence greater than or equal to 10% following EXPAREL administration via interscalene brachial plexus nerve block were nausea, pyrexia, and constipation.
If EXPAREL and other non-bupivacaine local anesthetics, including lidocaine, are administered at the same site, there may be an immediate release of bupivacaine from EXPAREL. Therefore, EXPAREL may be administered to the same site 20 minutes after injecting lidocaine.
EXPAREL is not recommended to be used in the following patient population: patients <18 years old and/or pregnant patients.
Because amide-type local anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are metabolized by the liver, EXPAREL should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic disease.
Warnings and Precautions Specific to EXPARELAvoid additional use of local anesthetics within 96 hours following administration of EXPAREL.
EXPAREL is not recommended for the following types or routes of administration: epidural, intrathecal, regional nerve blocks other than interscalene brachial plexus nerve block, or intravascular or intra-articular use.
The potential sensory and/or motor loss with EXPAREL is temporary and varies in degree and duration depending on the site of injection and dosage administered and may last for up to 5 days, as seen in clinical trials.

Warnings and Precautions for Bupivacaine-Containing Products, continuedAllergic Reactions: Allergic-type reactions (eg, anaphylaxis and angioedema) are rare and may occur as a result of hypersensitivity to the local anesthetic or to other formulation ingredients.
Chondrolysis: There have been reports of chondrolysis (mostly in the shoulder joint) following intra-articular infusion of local anesthetics, which is an unapproved use.
Methemoglobinemia: Cases of methemoglobinemia have been reported with local anesthetic use.

PREOPERATIVE & POSTOPERATIVE
MEDICATIONS AIDED OPIOID MINIMIZATION IN THE PILLAR STUDY1
Scheduled preoperative medications:
• Oral acetaminophen (eg, TYLENOL®) 1000 mg
• Oral celecoxib 200 mg
• Oral pregabalin 300 mg
• IV tranexamic acid 1 g
• Oral acetaminophen (eg, TYLENOL®) 975 to 1000 mg every 8 hours
• Oral celecoxib 200 mg every 12 hours
Rescue opioids permitted for breakthrough pain postoperatively, including:
• Oral oxycodone <10 mg every 4 hours as needed
• IV morphine 2.5 to 5.0 mg every 4 hours as needed
• Hydromorphone 0.5 to 1.0 mg every 4 hours as needed

Warnings and Precautions for Bupivacaine-Containing Products
Central Nervous System (CNS) Reactions: There have been reports of adverse neurologic reactions with the use of local anesthetics. These include persistent anesthesia and paresthesia. CNS reactions are characterized by excitation and/or depression.
Cardiovascular System Reactions: Toxic blood concentrations depress cardiac conductivity and excitability which may lead to dysrhythmias, sometimes leading to death.
*Patient received either a single shot spinal approach or general anesthesia.

PILLAR PROTOCOL AND TECHNIQUE1
The PILLAR protocol highlights an appropriate infiltration technique, optimal targeting of tissue sites, and adequate volume expansion in TKA1
Consistent volume (120 mL) mixed with free bupivacaine HCl
Consistent infiltration protocol at anatomical sites with high nerve density
Consistent infiltration technique (1 to 1.5 mL volume spaced 1 to 1.5 cm apart)
Opioid-minimizing multimodal pain management protocol following surgery
Preoperative
• Patients receive acetaminophen (eg, TYLENOL®) 1000 mg + celecoxib 200 mg + pregabalin 300 mg and IV tranexamic acid 1 g within 4 hours of surgery
To achieve optimal analgesia, it is suggested to administer EXPAREL using1:
Intraoperative
EXPAREL
• All participants have access to rescue opioids as needed, including oral oxycodone ≤10 mg every 4 hours or IV morphine every 4 hours
Postoperative
• Patients receive oral acetaminophen (eg, TYLENOL®) 975 to 1000 mg as needed every 8 hours + celecoxib 200 mg as needed every 12 hours until discharge
