Levobupivacaine, the S-enantiomer of bupivacaine, is a local anaesthetic drug belonging to the amino amide class. It is commonly marketed by Abbott under the trade name Chirocaine. Levobupivacaine is indicated for local anaesthesia including infiltration, nerve block, ophthalmic, epidural and intrathecal anaesthesia in adults; and infiltration analgesia in children. Compared to bupivacaine, levobupivacaine is associated with less vasodilation and has a longer duration of action. It is approximately 13 percent less potent (by molarity) than racemic bupivacaine and has a longer motor block onset time.
