Interactions between ultane(sevoflurane) and Anectine (succinylcholine)

Moderate Drug-Drug Interaction succinylcholine and sevoflurane (Moderate Drug-Drug)

ADJUST DOSE: Inhalation anesthetics may potentiate the effects of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants. Long-acting muscle relaxants such as pancuronium and d-tubocurarine are more affected than other agents.

MANAGEMENT: The muscle relaxant dosage may need to be reduced when inhalation anesthetics are used, especially during longer procedures. In general, inhalation anesthetics should be administered only by health care providers specially trained in the use of these agents and in the care of anesthetized patients.
