This session describes the relevant pharmacology and the uses of depolarizing and non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs. It also considers the drugs
Pharmacology of Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs Structural relationship of succinylcholine, a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug, and acetylcholine.
At this point, full neuromuscular block has been achieved. The prototypical depolarizing blocking drug is succinylcholine (suxamethonium). It is the only such
Pharmacology of Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs Structural relationship of succinylcholine, a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug, and acetylcholine.

Learn about the types, uses, and mechanisms of neuromuscular-blocking drugs, which block transmission at the neuromuscular junction and cause paralysis of skeletal muscles. Compare non-depolarizing and depolarizing agents, and their reversal by acetylcholinesterase.
Neuromuscular Blocking Agents Accession Number DBCAT Description. Drugs that interrupt transmission of nerve impulses at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. They can be of two types, competitive, stabilizing blockers (NEUROMUSCULAR NONDEPOLARIZING AGENTS) or noncompetitive, depolarizing agents (NEUROMUSCULAR DEPOLARIZING AGENTS).
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) : medications that paralyze skeletal muscles by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses at the neuromuscular junction . Depolarizing NMBAs: a form of neuromuscular blocker that first causes depolarization and contraction by activating cholinergic receptors, then blocks subsequent neurotransmission
There are 2 types of neuromuscular blocking agents that work at the neuromuscular junction: depolarizing and non-depolarizing. Depolarizing muscle relaxants act as acetylcholine (ACh) receptor agonists by binding to the ACh receptors of the motor endplate and generating an action potential.
