Effectiveness

How Tracrium Affects PatientsAtracurium is a type of muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle movement, and its effects usually last for a shorter period of time than other muscle relaxants. As more doses of Atracurium are taken, the time it takes for the effects to start and end will increase. It is possible to take multiple doses of Atracurium in a row without any additional effects, so long as enough time is given for the body to recover from the previous dose. Therefore, Atracurium can be taken at regular intervals with predictable results.

How Tracrium works in the bodyAtracurium prevents nerve signals from reaching the muscles by blocking the receptor sites on the muscles. This effect can be reversed by taking medicines that stop the breakdown of the nerve signaling chemical, acetylcholine.
