Atracurium Besylate

Generic Name: Atracurium Besylate
Brand Name: -
Dosage Form: Injection 50mg/5ml
Pharmacological Category: Nondepolarizing skeletal muscle relaxant
Therapeutic Category: Antimyasthenics, Muscle Relaxants
Pregnancy Category: C

Pharmacology

Antagonize the neurotransmitter action of acetylcholine by binding competitively with cholinergic receptor sites on the motor end-plate

Pharmacokinetics:

The ED95 has averaged 0.23 mg/kg (0.11 to 0.26 mg/kg in various studies). An initial atracurium dose of 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg generally produces maximum neuromuscular block within 3 to 5 minutes of injection, with good or excellent intubation conditions within 2 to 2.5 minutes in most patients. Recovery from neuromuscular block (under balanced anesthesia) can be expected to begin approximately 20 to 35 minutes after injection. Under balanced anesthesia, recovery to 25% of control is achieved approximately 35 to 45 minutes after injection, and recovery is usually 95% complete approximately 60 to 70 minutes after injection. The neuromuscular blocking action of atracurium is enhanced in the presence of potent inhalation anesthetics. Isoflurane and enflurane increase the potency of atracurium and prolong neuromuscular block by approximately 35%; however, halothane’s potentiating effect (approximately 20%) is marginal.

After an initial dose of 0.4 to 0.5 mg/ maintenance dose (suggested maintenance dose is 0.08 kg under balanced anesthesia, the first to 0.10 mg/kg) is generally required within 20 to 45 minutes, and subsequent maintenance doses are usually required at approximately 15 to 25 minute intervals. The pharmacokinetics of atracurium in humans are essentially linear within the 0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg dose range. The elimination half-life is approximately 20 minutes. The duration of neuromuscular block produced by atracurium besylate does not correlate with plasma pseudocholinesterase levels and is not altered by the absence of renal function.

Indications:

Adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.

Contraindications:

• Patients known to have a hypersensitivity to it

Precautions:

• Request information from your patients about previous anaphylactic reactions to other neuromuscular blocking agents.
• inform your patients that severe anaphylactic reactions to neuromuscular blocking agents, including atracurium besylate have been reported.

Drug Interactions:

Drugs which may enhance the neuromuscular blocking action of atracurium include: enflurane; isoflurane; halothane; certain antibiotics, especially the aminoglycosides and polymyxins; lithium; magnesium salts; procainamide; and quinidine.

If other muscle relaxants are used during the same procedure, the possibility of a synergistic or antagonist effect should be considered.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of atracurium:
Temporary Redness of Face and Neck

Infrequent side effects of atracurium:
High Blood Pressure
Slow Heartbeat
Abnormally Low Blood Pressure
Fast Heartbeat

Rare side effects of atracurium IV:
Problems with Circulation
A Spasm of the Larynx
Bronchospasm
Inflammation of Skin caused by an Allergy
Redness of Skin
Itching
Hives
Rash
Visible Water Retention
Blood Circulation Failure due to Serious Heart Condition
Life Threatening Allergic Reaction

Storage:

• Store below 30 C°
• Protect from light and freezing

Packing:

• Atracurium Injection 50mg/5ml:5 Ampoules/ Box

An initial atracurium dose of 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg generally produces maximum neuromuscular block within 3 to 5 minutes of injection, with good or excellent intubation conditions within 2 to 2.5 minutes in most patients. Recovery from neuromuscular block (under balanced anesthesia) can be expected to begin approximately 20 to 35 minutes after injection. Under balanced anesthesia, recovery to 25% of control is achieved approximately 35 to 45 minutes after injection, and recovery is usually 95% complete approximately 60 to 70 minutes after injection. The neuromuscular blocking action of atracurium is enhanced in the presence of potent inhalation anesthetics. Isoflurane and enflurane increase the potency of atracurium and prolong neuromuscular block by approximately 35%; however, halothane’s potentiating effect (approximately 20%) is marginal. After an initial dose of 0.4 to 0.5 mg/ maintenance dose (suggested maintenance dose is 0.08 kg under balanced anesthesia, the first to 0.10 mg/kg) is generally required within 20 to 45 minutes, and subsequent maintenance doses are usually required at approximately 15 to 25 minute intervals. The pharmacokinetics of atracurium in humans are essentially linear within the 0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg dose range. The elimination half-life is approximately 20 minutes. The duration of neuromuscular block produced by atracurium besylate does not correlate with plasma pseudocholinesterase levels and is not altered by the absence of renal function.

Dosage Form: 

Injection 50mg/5ml

Pharmacological Category: 

Nondepolarizing skeletal muscle relaxant

Therapeutic Category: 

Antimyasthenics, Muscle Relaxants

Pregnancy Category: 

C

Antagonize the neurotransmitter action of acetylcholine by binding competitively with cholinergic receptor sites on the motor end-plate

Pharmacokinetics: 

The ED95 has averaged 0.23 mg/kg (0.11 to 0.26 mg/kg in various studies). An initial atracurium dose of 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg generally produces maximum neuromuscular block within 3 to 5 minutes of injection, with good or excellent intubation conditions within 2 to 2.5 minutes in most patients. Recovery from neuromuscular block (under balanced anesthesia) can be expected to begin approximately 20 to 35 minutes after injection. Under balanced anesthesia, recovery to 25% of control is achieved approximately 35 to 45 minutes after injection, and recovery is usually 95% complete approximately 60 to 70 minutes after injection. The neuromuscular blocking action of atracurium is enhanced in the presence of potent inhalation anesthetics. Isoflurane and enflurane increase the potency of atracurium and prolong neuromuscular block by approximately 35%; however, halothane’s potentiating effect (approximately 20%) is marginal.

After an initial dose of 0.4 to 0.5 mg/ maintenance dose (suggested maintenance dose is 0.08 kg under balanced anesthesia, the first to 0.10 mg/kg) is generally required within 20 to 45 minutes, and subsequent maintenance doses are usually required at approximately 15 to 25 minute intervals. The pharmacokinetics of atracurium in humans are essentially linear within the 0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg dose range. The elimination half-life is approximately 20 minutes. The duration of neuromuscular block produced by atracurium besylate does not correlate with plasma pseudocholinesterase levels and is not altered by the absence of renal function.

Indications: 

Adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.

Contraindications: 

• Patients known to have a hypersensitivity to it

Precautions: 

• Request information from your patients about previous anaphylactic reactions to other neuromuscular blocking agents.
• inform your patients that severe anaphylactic reactions to neuromuscular blocking agents, including atracurium besylate have been reported.

Drug Interactions: 

Drugs which may enhance the neuromuscular blocking action of atracurium include: enflurane; isoflurane; halothane; certain antibiotics, especially the aminoglycosides and polymyxins; lithium; magnesium salts; procainamide; and quinidine.

If other muscle relaxants are used during the same procedure, the possibility of a synergistic or antagonist effect should be considered.

Side Effects: 

Common side effects of atracurium:
Temporary Redness of Face and Neck

Infrequent side effects of atracurium:
High Blood Pressure
Slow Heartbeat
Abnormally Low Blood Pressure
Fast Heartbeat

Rare side effects of atracurium IV:
Problems with Circulation
A Spasm of the Larynx
Bronchospasm
Inflammation of Skin caused by an Allergy
Redness of Skin
Itching
Hives
Rash
Visible Water Retention
Blood Circulation Failure due to Serious Heart Condition
Life Threatening Allergic Reaction
