neuromuscular blocking agents

Preferred Label : neuromuscular blocking agents;

MeSH definition : Drugs that interrupt transmission of nerve impulses at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. They can be of two types, competitive, stabilizing blockers (NEUROMUSCULAR NONDEPOLARIZING AGENTS) or noncompetitive, depolarizing agents (NEUROMUSCULAR DEPOLARIZING AGENTS). Both prevent acetylcholine from triggering the muscle contraction and they are used as anesthesia adjuvants, as relaxants during electroshock, in convulsive states, etc.;

MeSH synonym : agents, neuromuscular blocking; blocking agents, neuromuscular; neuromuscular blockers; blockers, neuromuscular; Neuromuscular Blocker; Blocker, Neuromuscular; Neuromuscular Blocking Agent; Agent, Neuromuscular Blocking; Blocking Agent, Neuromuscular;

Wikipedia automatic translation : Neuromuscular-blocking drug;
