SUCOL INJECTION belongs to the class of medications called muscle relaxants. It is used in supporting general anaesthesia muscle relaxation during intubation. It also reduces the intensity of muscular contractions associated with pharmacologically or electrically induced convulsions.

SUCOL INJECTION contains Succinylcholine Chloride. It relaxes the muscles by blocking the impulses from the nerves.

An experienced clinician or a trained healthcare professional will administer SUCOL INJECTION. Increased intragastric pressure, rash, muscle fasciculation, post-operative muscle pains, myoglobinaemia (acute injury to muscle tissue), transient blood potassium increase, muscle fasciculation (muscle twitch), post-operative muscle pains, intragastric pressure, myoglobinuria (an excess amount of myoglobin in the urine), flushing, bradycardia, tachycardia, increased intraocular pressure, anaphylactic reactions (a severe allergic reaction) are undesirable consequences during your procedure, just like other general anaesthetics, since your anaesthetist will immediately address any issues that emerge during your procedure.

Before taking the SUCOL INJECTION, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and medications you are using. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

SUCOL INJECTION containes Succinylcholine Chloride, which belongs to the class of drugs known as muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants are used as part of general anaesthesia during an operation. When undergoing surgery, your muscles must be entirely relaxed. This makes surgery easier for the surgeon. If you are under anaesthesia, SUCOL INJECTION may be used to facilitate the placement of a tube into your trachea (windpipe) for artificial ventilation (mechanical help of breathing). It is also used to reduce the intensity of muscular contractions associated with pharmacologically or electrically induced convulsions.

SUCOL INJECTION should be used with caution in patients who are allergic to muscle relaxants, have had allergies, cardiovascular disease, asthma, pulmonary impairment, burns, hyperkalemia, malignant hyperthermia, skeletal muscle myopathies, and upper motor neuron injury. So, before taking the SUCOL INJECTION, inform your doctor about all of your medical issues, sensitivities, and drugs you are using. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Although, the heart muscle is not directly affected by succinylcholine. However, vagal stimulation during surgery or elevated potassium in the blood, particularly in pediatric patients, can also cause changes in heart rate, including cardiac arrest, as SUCOL INJECTION stimulates both autonomic ganglia and muscarinic receptors. Additionally, intraocular pressure rises right after SUCOL INJECTION.
