Neuromuscular Nondepolarizing Agents Definition

Neuromuscular Nondepolarizing Agents:
Drugs that interrupt transmission at the skeletal neuromuscular junction without causing depolarization of the motor end plate. They prevent acetylcholine from triggering muscle contraction and are used as muscle relaxants during electroshock treatments, in convulsive states, and as anesthesia adjuvants.Synonym: curare-like agents, nondepolarizing blockers, curariform drugs, non-depolarizing muscle relaxants, competitive neuromuscular blocking agents.
