Succin Injection is a muscle relaxant used along with general anesthesia or sedatives to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgical procedures.

Introduction:
Succin Injection is administered by a healthcare professional. You should not self-administer this medicine at home. The dose and duration will depend on what you are taking it for and how well it helps your symptoms. The most common side effects of this medicine include stomach pressure, excessive salivation, muscle twitching, and postoperative muscle pain. Other common side effects include increased intraocular pressure, slow heart rate, increased heart rate, flushing of the skin, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, rash, and increased potassium level in blood.

Dosage Form:
Injection

Side Effects:

• stomach pressure
• excessive salivation
• muscle twitching
• postoperative muscle pain
• increased intraocular pressure
• slow heart rate
• increased heart rate
• flushing of the skin
• high blood pressure
• low blood pressure

• increased potassium level in blood

How to Use:
Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

How it Works:

Quick Tips:

• Succin Injection is given as an injection into vein under the supervision of a doctor.

• Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure regularly as the medicine may lead to high blood pressure.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

FAQs:

• What is the mechanism behind Succin Injection's potential to cause bradycardia?
  The initial metabolite of Succin Injection produces a transient negative chronotropic effect through its stimulation of sinus node muscarinic receptors. Repeated dosing or infusions of Succin Injection may lead to bradycardia, which can be appropriately treated with atropine.


• Why does Succin Injection cause fasciculation?
  Succin Injection causes fasciculation by its action on some distal part of motor nerve fibres.


• Is Succin Injection still used in medical practice?
  Yes, Succin Injection is still used during general anesthesia.


• Is Succin Injection's effect reversible?
  No, Succin Injection is a short-acting muscle relaxant that exerts a depolarizing effect at the neuromuscular junction. This effect is not reversible pharmacologically.


• Is Succin Injection contraindicated in burned patients?
  Yes, Succin Injection should not be used in burned patients.


• Does Succin Injection cross the placental barrier?
  In normal therapeutic doses, Succin Injection does not cross the placental barrier in sufficient amounts.
