💊 Vecuronium

Common side effects

The most frequent adverse reaction to nondepolarizing blocking agents as a class consists of an extension of the drug’s pharmacological action beyond the time period needed. This may vary from skeletal muscle weakness to profound and prolonged skeletal muscle paralysis resulting in respiration insufficiency or apnea.

Vecuronium should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Breastfeeding (label summary): Nursing Mothers It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk.
