    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1996 Jun 10; 158(24):3474-5. PubMed ID: 8650820.
    Abstract:
    It is known that theophylline antagonizes the neuromuscular blockade in animals and case reports, where the same phenomenon has been observed in man, are described. One patient is described where another methylxantine-caffeine-caused resistance to neuromuscular blockade by vecuronium, but successful blockade was achieved by pancuronium.
