Norcuron Disease Interactions
There are 3 disease interactions with Norcuron (vecuronium).
Neuromuscular blocking agents (applies to Norcuron) liver disease
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.
Neuromuscular blocking agents undergo metabolism by the liver. Elimination and effects may be prolonged in patients with liver disease. Therapy with neuromuscular blocking agents should be administered cautiously in patients with liver disease.
Neuromuscular blocking agents (applies to Norcuron) paresis
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Paralytic Disorder
Patients with hemiparesis or paraparesis may require higher dosages of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents in the affected limbs. Neuromuscular monitoring should be performed on a non-paretic limb to avoid inaccurate dosing.
Neuromuscular blocking agents (applies to Norcuron) pulmonary impair
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Pulmonary Impairment
Neuromuscular blocking agents can cause respiratory depression and paralysis. Therapy with neuromuscular blocking agents should be administered cautiously in patients with pulmonary impairment. Treatment of respiratory paralysis consists of positive-pressure artificial respiration with oxygen and maintenance of a patent airway until the recovery of normal respiration is assured.
