Preferred Label : neuromuscular nondepolarizing agents;
MeSH definition : 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.;
