ABSTRACT
Introduction: Drug interaction is understood as the ability of a drug for altering the
pharmacological effects of another simultaneously administered.
Objective: To carry out an updated review about the drug interaction of
neuromuscular-blocking drugs with others frequently used in the anesthesiological
field.
Findings: The mechanisms of drug interaction are varied and are complicated in
cases of modifications on the pharmacokinetical and pharmacodynamical properties of
each medicine. Neuromuscular-blocking drugs (NMBs) are used to relax the striated
musculature and to ensure tracheal intubation, ventilation. They produce a sufficient
surgical plane in order for the surgeon to perform the surgical procedure properly.
Many medications interact with NMBs and often potentiate the muscle relaxant effect.
This is of clinical importance in the case of antibiotics, inhalational anesthetics, lithium
and cyclosporine.
Conclusions: Modern anesthesiologists must have sufficient theoretical knowledge
about different drug interactions that may occur during the perioperative period.
Neuromuscular-blocking drugs can interact with others commonly used by patients or
by the anesthesiologists, a reason why early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are
necessary to avoid complications.
