Description

Rocuronium Bromide MDV 10mg/mL 10mL is a sterile injectable solution containing 10mg of rocuronium bromide per milliliter. It is classified as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used primarily to facilitate endotracheal intubation during general anesthesia. The product is provided in a 10mL multidose vial (MDV) for intravenous administration in clinical settings.

Rocuronium works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses at the neuromuscular junction. It competes with acetylcholine for binding to nicotinic receptors on the muscle cell membrane, preventing depolarization and muscle contraction. This action induces muscle relaxation, allowing for easier intubation and muscle relaxation during surgical procedures.

The onset of action for rocuronium is rapid, typically occurring within 1-2 minutes after intravenous administration. The duration of its effects depends on the dose and the individual patient but usually lasts between 30-60 minutes. It is typically used in short to medium-duration surgeries or as a muscle relaxant during mechanical ventilation.
