Rocuronium

neuromuscular non depolarising blocking drug, aminosteroids related to pancuronium and vecuronium, aminosteroid. Rocuronium has an intermediate duration of action and produces its maximum of effect within 2 minutes. Rocuronium can be rapidly reversed with sugammadex, so this drug combination offers an alternative to suxamethonium. Sugammadex, unlike neostigmine, does not inhibit acetylcholinesterase so cholinergic effects are not produced and co-administration of an antimuscarinic agent (glycopyrronium bromide or atropine) is not needed
