Panuron 2mg Injection belongs to the group of medicines called skeletal muscle relaxants, which are primarily used to provide muscle relaxation during surgery. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms.

Panuron 2mg Injection contains pancuronium which is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking the nerve impulses in the brain, thereby providing muscle relaxation.

Panuron 2mg Injection is available in the form of an injection. The healthcare professional gives it during surgery. In some cases, you may experience application site reactions and excess saliva. Most of these side effects of Panuron 2mg Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Before receiving Panuron 2mg Injection, inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, lung, or heart disease or if you have jaundice or lung cancer. Also, inform your doctor if you have a known allergy to the Panuron 2mg Injection. Inform your doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman before starting the treatment with Panuron 2mg Injection. Panuron 2mg Injection is a cold chain medicine, so it must be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius.

Panuron 2mg Injection belongs to the group of medicines called muscle relaxants used to reduce and relieve muscle contraction (excessive tension in the muscles) during surgery, other procedures, and in intensive care. It is also used to calm muscles while on a breathing machine. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on skeletal muscles. An experienced doctor must only give the Panuron 2mg Injection under carefully controlled conditions. It is used during procedures requiring the patient to be fully anaesthetized (unconscious) or heavily sedated.

• Application site reactions
• Excess saliva production

Before you receive Panuron 2mg Injection, tell your doctor if you suffer from any of the following conditions: myasthenia gravis ( weakness and rapid fatigue of muscles), myasthenic syndrome (other neuromuscular diseases), or poliomyelitis (polio), if you have fluid retention (swelling around the ankles), if you have cancer, or if you have high blood pressure.  If you are pregnant or breast-feeding or planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking Panuron 2mg Injection. Panuron 2mg Injection should be given with special care in elderly and newborn babies. Do not drive or operate machines until recovered from the muscle relaxant effects.

Muscle spasm (contraction): It is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints. Muscle relaxants can treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants sedate the muscle and help in inhibiting painful contractions. Muscle weakness is common in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU). Surgical procedures can affect the respiratory muscles through many mechanisms, including thoracoabdominal mechanics (affecting the thorax and the abdomen), reflexes, neuromechanical coupling, and loss of muscular integrity. Impairment of respiratory muscle function after surgery may lead to postoperative complications such as hypoventilation (a state in which a reduced amount of air enters the lungs), hypoxia (an absence of enough oxygen in the tissues), atelectasis (Complete or partial collapse of a lung), and infections, some of which may be life-threatening.
