How it works:
Faq for medicine:
A: Suxomin is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor non-competitive agonist
Q: What is Suxomin chloride used for/ how does Suxomin work/ how does Suxomin chloride work?
A: Suxomin is used in anesthesia to induce muscle relaxation during operations, to facilitate endotracheal intubation (help insert a tube into the windpipe), reduce strong muscle contraction
Q: What is Suxomin apnoea?
A: Suxomin apnoea occurs when a patient does not have the enzymes to metabolise the drug. Due to this, a patient may remain paralysed for an increased length of time and cannot breathe adequately at the end of an anaesthetic
Q: Why does Suxomin cause bradycardia (abnormally slow heart beat)?
A: The initial metabolite of Suxomin produces a transient negative chronotropic effect through its stimulation of sinus node muscarinic receptors. Repeated dosing or infusions of Suxomin may lead to bradycardia that is appropriately treated with atropine
Q: Why does suxamethonium cause hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood)?
A: Administration of suxamethonium may lead to depolarization and a large efflux of intracellular potassium into the plasma thereby resulting in hyperkalemia
Q: Why does Suxomin cause fasciculation (twitching of muscles under the skin)?
A: Suxomin cause fasciculation by an action on some distal part of motor nerve fibres
Q: Is Suxomin still used?
A: Suxomin is still used during general anesthesia
Q: Is Suxomin reversible?
A: Suxomin is a short-acting muscle relaxant which exerts a depolarizing effect at the neuromuscular junction. This effect is not reversible pharmacologically
Q: Is Suxomin is contraindicated in burned patients?
A: Yes, Suxomin should not be used in burned patients
Q: What is Suxomin sensitivity?
A: Suxomin sensitivity is when the drug remains active for a longer period of time than is usual due to which muscles stay relaxed
Q: Does Suxomin cross the placenta?
A: In normal therapeutic doses, Suxomin does not cross the placental barrier in sufficient amounts.
