  • blockade: It can be used to maintain neuromuscular blockade using an infusion technique.
  • junction: The effects of nerve injury on the neuromuscular junction.
  • blocker: The side effects occur when drugs are given to reverse the effects of these neuromuscular blockers.
  • stimulation: Neuromuscular stimulation by micro currents exercises the inactive facial foundation muscles.

Used with adjective complement

  • depolarise: Unlike depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, such as succinylcholine, Norcuron does not cause muscle fasciculations.
