Atracurium

Atracurium is a medication used during surgery to help relax your muscles, making it easier for doctors to perform procedures. It works by blocking signals between nerves and muscles without affecting your consciousness or pain awareness. Because it breaks down naturally in the body, it’s safely used for anesthesia without accumulating side effects. The drug is given through an IV and acts quickly to relax muscles, typically for the duration of the surgical procedure. Afterward, other medications are used to reverse its effects, allowing muscles to regain strength and function normally.
