What is Succinylcholine Chloride?
Succinylcholine Chloride is a depolarizing neuromuscular blocker commonly used to induce muscle relaxation and facilitate endotracheal intubation during surgical procedures. By mimicking acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, it initially stimulates muscle contractions before leading to sustained muscle relaxation. It has a rapid onset of action and short duration, making it suitable for short-term muscle paralysis.Side Effects
