Pharmacological Actions

Rocuronium Bromide is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used during surgery and mechanical ventilation. Its main pharmacological actions are:

Mechanism of Action:
- Neuromuscular Blockade: Rocuronium bromide competitively binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, inhibiting the effect of acetylcholine. This results in muscle relaxation, providing paralysis for surgical procedures or mechanical ventilation.
