Zynrelef Indications
Indications
Postsurgical analgesia for up to 72 hours after soft tissue and orthopedic surgical procedures, including foot and ankle procedures, or other orthpedic surgical procedures (eg, total joint arthroplasty) in which direct exposure to articular cartilage is avoided.
Limitations of Use
Safety and efficacy have not been established in highly vascular surgeries (eg, intrathoracic, large 4 or more level spinal, head and neck procedures).
Zynrelef Dosage and Administration
Adult
See full labeling. For single-dose administration only. Apply only to tissue layers below the skin incision. Open inguinal herniorrhaphy: apply 300mg/9mg (up to 10.5mL). Abdominoplasty, Cesarean section: apply 400mg/12mg (up to 14mL). Augmentation mammoplasty: apply 400mg/12mg (up to 7mL per side). Bunionectomy: apply 60mg/1.8mg (up to 2.3mL). Total knee/shoulder arthroplasty: apply 400mg/12mg (up to 14mL). Spinal surgery (1- to 3-level): apply 200mg/6mg (up to 7mL).
Children
Administration
Apply Zynrelef to the tissues within the surgical site as follows:
- Soft tissue procedures: apply into the wound prior to closure of each layer within the surgical space.
- Abdominal procedures: apply after closure of the peritoneum (if applicable) and avoid administration below the peritoneum.
- Orthopedic procedures (in general): apply into the wound and on the periosteum from the proximal to the distal ends of the wound (eg, beyond the boney repair).
- Total joint arthroplasty: apply directly into the joint capsule, onto the periosteum, and the antero-, medial-, and lateral tissues (if applicable), after placement of the components.
- Spinal procedures: apply after closure of the paraspinal musculature and again after closure of the subcutaneous fascia; do not apply to the dura or spinal cord.
Only apply Zynrelef to the tissue layers below the skin incision and not directly onto the subdermal layer or the skin. Minimize administration of Zynrelef near the incision line.
Use only the amount necessary to coat the tissues, so that Zynrelef does not leak from the surgical wound after closure. Wipe off excess Zynrelef from the skin prior to or during closure of the wound.

Warnings/Precautions
Should be administered where trained personnel and resuscitative equipment are readily available. Avoid epidural, intrathecal, intravascular, intra-articular, regional nerve blocks, pre-incisional or pre-procedural locoregional anesthetic techniques. Increased risk of serious cardiovascular events (including MI, stroke). Avoid in recent MI, severe heart failure; if necessary, monitor. Increased risk of serious GI adverse events (including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, perforation). History of ulcer disease and/or GI bleeding. Advanced liver disease and/or coagulopathy. Cardiovascular dysfunction (eg, hypotension, heart block); monitor closely for BP, HR, and ECG changes. Monitor cardiovascular and respiratory vital signs, and patient’s state of consciousness after administration. Evaluate if signs/symptoms of liver disease develop, or if systemic manifestations occur (eg, eosinophilia, rash, others). Hypertension; monitor BP. Dehydration. Hypovolemia. Advanced renal disease: not recommended; if needed, monitor. Hyperkalemia. Risk of joint cartilage necrosis with unapproved intra-articular use. Limit exposure to articular cartilage due to potential risk of chondrolysis. Risk of methemoglobinemia (esp. in G6PD deficiency, congenital or idiopathic methemoglobinemia, cardiac or pulmonary compromise, infants <6 months of age, concurrent exposure to oxidizing agents or metabolites); monitor closely and discontinue any oxidizing agents if occurs. Pre-existing asthma. Coagulation disorders. May mask signs of infection or fever. Renal impairment (mild to moderate): consider dose reduction; (severe): not recommended; (on hemodialysis): do not exceed max dose or use with other meloxicam-containing products. Hepatic impairment (moderate to severe): monitor for toxicity; (severe): only use if benefits outweigh risks. Poor CYP2C9 metabolizers: monitor and consider dose reduction. Debilitated. Elderly. Labor & delivery. May be associated with a reversible delay in ovulation in females of reproductive potential. Pregnancy (avoid during ≥30 weeks gestation): increased risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus; (20–30 weeks gestation): may cause fetal renal dysfunction/oligohydramnios; if treatment needed, limit dose and duration of use. Nursing mothers.
Zynrelef Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
The rate of systemic absorption of bupivacaine or meloxicam from Zynrelef is dependent upon the total dose of drug administered and the vascularity of the administration site.
Distribution
Plasma protein bound: 95% (bupivacaine); ~99.4%, primarily albumin (meloxicam).
Elimination
Renal, fecal. Half-life: ~10–25 hours (bupivacaine); ~21–42 hours (meloxicam).
