Indicated for: muscle relaxation in anesthesia
Route of administration: injectable / infusion
Substance: cisatracuriu (muscle relaxant)
ATC: M03AC11 (Musculo-skeletal system | Muscle relaxants, peripherally acting agents | Other quaternary ammonium compounds)
Cisatracurium is a neuromuscular blocking agent used in anesthesia to induce muscle relaxation during surgical procedures or mechanical ventilation. It works by blocking neuromuscular transmission at the motor endplate.
The medication is administered intravenously, as directed by a doctor, usually in a hospital or specialized clinic. It is important for administration to be performed under strict medical supervision.
Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as injection site reactions, hypotension, or bronchospasm. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
Common side effects include injection site reactions and hypotension. In rare cases, severe reactions such as bronchospasm or allergic reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before administration.
