How Pavulon Affects Patients
Pancuronium is a muscle relaxant, similar to curare, that works by blocking the chemical acetylcholine from attaching to nerve cells. It does not cause any sudden muscle movements like some other drugs, and does not have any hormonal or nerve-blocking effects.
How Pavulon works in the body
Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents block signals from the brain to the muscles by blocking the receptors that acetylcholine, a type of nerve signal, binds to. These drugs can be reversed with anticholinesterase agents.
