Recovering from joint replacement surgery is an opportunity to reclaim mobility and return to an active lifestyle. However, managing pain during the recovery process is a critical step to achieving those goals. Traditionally, opioids have been the go-to for post-surgical pain relief, but their risks, including dependency and side effects, often pose challenges for patients.
That’s where innovative solutions like Zynrelef come in. This long-lasting, non-opioid pain relief option provides effective pain management without the risks associated with opioids. By controlling pain more safely and efficiently, Zynrelef supports a smoother recovery, empowering patients to focus on healing and getting back to the activities they love.
How Does Zynrelef Work?
Zynrelef is a unique combination of bupivacaine and meloxicam, both of which work together to deliver extended pain relief. Bupivacaine, a local anesthetic, numbs the surgical site, while meloxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), reduces inflammation and pain. This dual-action formula is designed to be applied directly into the surgical area during the operation, where it releases medication over a period of up to 72 hours.
Benefits of Zynrelef for Joint Replacement Patients
For joint replacement patients, managing pain effectively is crucial to a smooth recovery. Zynrelef’s extended-release formula reduces the need for additional pain medication after surgery. Patients experience steady pain relief for three days, which are typically the most painful days post-surgery.1 By maintaining comfort without opioids, patients can focus on recovery without worrying about common opioid side effects like nausea, constipation, or dizziness.
