Overview of Suxamethonium Cl
Suxamethonium (Cl) muscle relaxant. Suxamethonium (Cl) used as an adjunct to anesthesia for surgery. Suxamethonium (Cl) acts by depolarization of muscle end plate, rendering the tissue incapable of responding to the neurotransmitter. itrapid acting and has a short duration of action.
