What is the max dose of .5% bupivicaine for a man?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on weight: and also it the bupivicaine solution contains epinephrine. An easy way to calculate the max dose of 0.5% bupivacaine in milliliters is to take 1/2 of the patient's weight.

On a weight basis: the maximal does is usually calculated by the patient's body weight; around 1.5 mg per kg of body weight each cc of 0.5% marcaine contains 5 mg of the drug
