INFORMATION ABOUT  VECUROZ  (VECURONIUM BROMIDE )

What is Vecuronium / Vecuronium bromide ?

Vecuronium is a medication classified as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It’s used in anesthesia to induce muscle relaxation during surgeries or other medical procedures requiring intubation (insertion of a breathing tube into the trachea). Vecuronium works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, resulting in temporary paralysis. This paralysis allows for easier insertion of the breathing tube and prevents involuntary movements during surgery, facilitating the procedure for the medical team.

Vecuronium Uses

During surgery, vecuronium is utilized to relax the skeletal muscles.

How does Vecuronium work?

By inhibiting the nerve impulses, vecuronium induced muscular relaxation.

EXPERT ADVICE FOR VECURONIUM

Only medical practitioners are authorized to administer vecuronium by injection.

It could make you feel drowsy and lightheaded. When you are not sure how Vecuronium will affect you, avoid driving and other tasks requiring concentration.

You will receive ongoing monitoring during the course of treatment to assess the medication’s effects.

Till you are able to breathe on your own, you will receive artificial ventilation. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR VECURONIUM

1. Is Vecuronium/Vecuronium bromide a controlled substance?

No, vecuronium is not a substance that is under control.

2. Is Vecuronium a sedative?

Vecuronium is not a sedative; rather, it calms muscles. On the other hand, it can be added to sedatives or anesthesia as an additional drug.

3. Why is Vecuronium used with anesthesia?

With anesthesia, vecuronium is used to relax skeletal muscles during surgery and facilitate the easy insertion of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea (tracheal intubation).

4. Does Vecuronium affect pupils/paralyze the gut/cause hypotension/bradycardia?

When taking vecuronium, these side effects are either uncommon or not known to occur. If you encounter one or more of these symptoms, stop taking Vecuronium and see your doctor right away.

5. Does Vecuronium cross the placenta?

Vecuronium crosses the placenta.lease heed your doctor’s advice when using it.

6. Does vecuronium release histamine/cause histamine release?

Generally speaking, histamine is released by neuromuscular blocking drugs. Vecuronium’s meek histamine release ability has been demonstrated in animal experiments. The histamine release data, however, is not supported by research on humans.

7. How does Vecuronium work?

Vecuronium causes muscular relaxation by obstructing the nerve-muscle signaling pathway.
