Drug Interactions

- Other neuromuscular blockers: Combining with other muscle relaxants can intensify or unpredictably alter the effect.
- Magnesium sulfate: Can enhance and prolong the muscle relaxing effect of atracurium.
Risks and warnings
- Breathing support required: Atrelax injection paralyzes the muscles used for breathing, so mechanical ventilation is needed until the effect wears off.

- Not for use without anesthesia monitoring: This injection must only be given alongside anesthesia and full patient monitoring.
