| abstract |
Levobupivacaine ((S)-1-butyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2-piperidinecarboxamide) is useful as an anesthetic, particularly in a patient who is disposed to adverse systemic side-effects, e.g., one who is CNS-compromised or predisposed to CNS side-effects. A unit dose of levobupivacaine comprising at least 75 mg to less than 200 mg of levobupivacaine is described herein. |
