Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
Non-depolarizing skeletal muscle relaxant; cholinergic receptor antagonist
Dose abituale nell'adulto (sintesi del foglio illustrativo)
General Anesthesia (Injection) Load: 0.08-0.1 mg/kg IVP over 60 sec OR 0.04-0.06 mg/kg IVP if following succinylcholine, PLUS Maintenance: 0.01-0.015 mg/kg IVP 20-45min post initial PRN
Gravidanza e allattamento
- Gravidanza
- Safe Used during general anaesthesia, including caesarean section; it crosses the placenta only in small amounts. No animal reproduction studies. US label: use only if clearly needed. Magnesium sulphate can prolong its effect. Acceptable for anaesthesia when needed.
- Allattamento
- Safe No milk data, but it is short acting, highly polar and poorly absorbed by mouth, so little reaches milk or the infant (LactMed). Breastfeed once the mother has recovered; with several anaesthetic drugs, follow the most restrictive one.
Effetti indesiderati segnalati
- Skeletal muscle weakness or paralysis
- Itching
- Respiratory insufficiency or apnea
Controindicazioni
- Hypersensitivity
- Lack of ventilatory support
- Neuromuscular disease
Chi deve prestare attenzione
- Some patients may experience prolonged recovery (paralysis) of neuromuscular function
- CAUTION: Hepatobiliary obstruction, renal dysfunction will significantly prolong duration of action
- Severe anaphylactic reactions to neuromuscular blocking agents have been reported; these reactions have, in some cases, been life threatening and fatal;
Informare il farmacista o il medico di gravidanza o allattamento, malattie renali o epatiche, allergie e di ogni altro farmaco o integratore assunto.
