Troycurium Injection 10 ml 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, during general anaesthesia to ease tracheal intubation (a tube into the windpipe), and controlled ventilation.

It is used during procedures that require that the patient is fully anaesthetized (unconscious) or heavily sedated.
