title: Neuromuscular blocking action of vecuronium in the dog and its reversal by neostigmine.
abstract: Vecuronium bromide is one of a new series of competitive or nondepolarising muscle relaxants which is closely related chemically to pancuronium. Doses of 0.06, 0.1 and 0.2 mg kg-1 produced neuromuscular block in the anaesthetised dog. There were no observable effects on arterial blood pressure. The neuromuscular block was readily reversible with neostigmine preceded by atropine.
