Patient Concerns about Succin Products
Frequently asked questions about Succin Products
Frequently asked questions about Suxamethonium
Q. Why does Succin Injection cause bradycardia (abnormally slow heart beat)?
The initial metabolite of Succin Injection produces a transient negative chronotropic effect through its stimulation of sinus node muscarinic receptors. Repeated dosing or infusions of Succin Injection may lead to bradycardia that is appropriately treated with atropine
Q. Why does Succin Injection cause fasciculation (twitching of muscles under the skin)?
Succin Injection cause fasciculation by an action on some distal part of motor nerve fibres
Q. Is Succin Injection still used?
Succin Injection is still used during general anesthesia
Q. Is Succin Injection reversible?
Succin Injection is a short-acting muscle relaxant which exerts a depolarizing effect at the neuromuscular junction. This effect is not reversible pharmacologically
Q. Is Succin Injection is contraindicated in burned patients?
Yes, Succin Injection should not be used in burned patients
Q. Does Succin Injection cross the placenta?
In normal therapeutic doses, Succin Injection does not cross the placental barrier in sufficient amounts.
