Atracurium Besylate
別名: Tracrium, Abbottracurium, Atracur, Faulcurium, Ifacur, Laurak, Mycurium, Relatrac, Sitrac, Trablok, Tracur
This medication is a highly specialized muscle relaxant used exclusively by veterinary professionals during general anesthesia or critical care mechanical ventilation. * It ensures your pet remains perfectly still during delicate surgeries (like eye surgery) or helps them breathe in sync with a ventilator if they are critically ill. * Because it only relaxes muscles and does not provide pain relief or sleep, it is **always** given alongside strong pain medications and sedatives or anesthetics to ensure your pet is completely unconscious and comfortable.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

給藥方式
可能的副作用

- Hypotension
- Vasodilation
- Bradycardia
- Tachycardia
- Dyspnea
- Bronchospasm
- Laryngospasm

注意事項與禁忌
- Hypersensitivity to atracurium
- Relative contraindication: Myasthenia gravis
- Lack of ventilatory support (must have mechanical ventilation available)
- > **CRITICAL WARNING:** Atracurium has **NO analgesic or sedative/anesthetic actions**. Patients must be appropriately sedated/anesthetized and provided with analgesia. * **Ventilation:** Positive pressure ventilation (preferably mechanical) is absolutely required when using this drug. * **Histamine Release:** May rarely cause significant histamine release; use with caution in patients where this would be hazardous (e.g., severe cardiovascular disease, asthma). * **Myasthenia Gravis:** Use with extreme caution, or not at all, in patients suffering from myasthenia gravis. * **Vagal Tone:** Has minimal cardiac effects and will not counteract bradycardia or vagal stimulation induced by other anesthetic agents.
藥物相互作用
- Aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g., gentamicin): May enhance the neuromuscular blocking activity of atracurium
- General anesthetics (enflurane, isoflurane, halothane, sevoflurane): May enhance and prolong the neuromuscular blocking activity
- Bacitracin, Polymyxin B (systemic): May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity
- Procainamide: May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity
- Quinidine: May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity
- Lithium: May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity
- Magnesium salts: May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity
- Anticonvulsants (Phenytoin, Carbamazepine): Reported to decrease both the effects and duration of neuromuscular blockade
- Other muscle relaxant drugs: May cause a synergistic or antagonistic effect
- Succinylcholine: May speed the onset of action and enhance the neuromuscular blocking actions of atracurium. Do not give atracurium until succinylcholine effects have diminished.
