Rocuronium

Active

Description

Rocuronium (Zemuron, Esmeron) is an aminosteroid non-depolarizing (that is, it does not cause initial stimulation of muscles before weakening them) neuromuscular blocker or muscle relaxant used in modern anaesthesia, to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.

There is considered to be some risk of allergic reaction to the drug in occasional patients (particularly those with asthma), but a similar incidence of allergic reactions has been observed by using other members of the same drug class (non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs).The drug is commonly used in modern anaesthesia.
