Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Rocuronium bromide is a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent with a rapid to intermediate onset depending on dose and intermediate duration. It acts by competing for cholinergic receptors at the motor end-plate. This action is antagonized by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as neostigmine and edrophonium.

Pharmacokinets

The pharmacokinetics of rocuronium are altered by renal and hepatic disease; the latter probably has the more significant effect. Rapacuronium has a rapid onset, and a bolus dose has a short duration of action.

Side Effects

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
