Scope note: Drogas que interrumpen la transmisión de la unión neuromuscular esquelética sin producir despolarización de la placa motora terminal. Previenen que la acetilcolina genere la contracción muscular y se utilizan como relajantes musculares durante el tratamiento con electrochoque, en los estados convulsivos, y como adyuvantes de la anestesia.

Scope note: Drugs that interrupt transmission at the skeletal neuromuscular junction without causing depolarization of the motor end plate. They prevent acetylcholine from triggering muscle contraction and are used as muscle relaxants during electroshock treatments, in convulsive states, and as anesthesia adjuvants.
