Cisatracurium is an intermediate-duration, non-depolarising benzylisoquinolinium skeletal muscle relaxant. Cisatracurium binds to cholinergic receptors on the motor end-plate to antagonise the action of acetylcholine, resulting in a competitive block of neuromuscular transmission. This action is readily reversed by anti-cholinesterase agents such as neostigmine or edrophonium. |
