Active Ingredient:

Atracurium Besylate

Medical Uses:

Efacurim 50mg/5ml Injection is utilized for:

1. Muscle Relaxation: It is administered as an adjunct to general anesthesia to induce skeletal muscle relaxation, facilitating endotracheal intubation and surgical procedures.
2. Ventilation Assistance: Atracurium Besylate helps in achieving optimal conditions for mechanical ventilation by paralyzing skeletal muscles.

Administration:

Efacurim 50mg/5ml Injection is typically administered intravenously by trained healthcare professionals in a controlled medical environment.

Dosage and Infusion Rate: The dosage and infusion rate are determined based on the patient’s weight, the type of surgery, and the desired level of muscle relaxation.

Precautions:

1. Professional Administration: Efacurim 50mg/5ml Injection should only be administered by qualified healthcare professionals familiar with neuromuscular blocking agents.
2. Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of neuromuscular function and patient ventilation is crucial during administration.
3. Rescue Medications: Facilities for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade (anticholinesterase agents) should be readily available.

Side Effects:

Possible side effects may include changes in blood pressure, histamine release (leading to potential allergic reactions), and residual neuromuscular blockade. Promptly inform healthcare providers of any adverse effects.

Contraindications: Efacurim 50mg/5ml Injection is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to atracurium or any components of the formulation. It may not be suitable for patients with certain medical conditions.
