  • Title: Mivacurium.
    Author: Feldman S.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 57(5):199-201. PubMed ID: 9176596.
    Abstract:
    The muscle relaxant mivacurium was introduced in 1988 as a non-depolarizing drug with the pharmacokinetic profile of suxamethonium. Like suxamethonium, mivacurium is hydrolyzed by plasma cholinesterase; however, it has proved to be slower in onset and considerably longer in its duration of action. Inspite of this, in clinically used doses, it is somewhat shorter acting than alternative non-depolarizing drugs.
