title: [Interaction of the calcium antagonists nifedipine and nisoldipine with the nondepolarizing muscle relaxant vecuronium bromide in an vivo rat preparation].
abstract: The interaction of two orally administered Ca-channel blockers, the dihydropyridines nisoldipine and nifedipine, with the non-depolarizing muscle relaxant, vecuronium bromide, was tested in the indirectly stimulated tibialis anterior muscle of anesthetized and ventilated Sprague-Dawley rats. In both the nisoldipine and the nifedipine group, depression of twitch tension and duration of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade was potentiated when compared with a control group. The possible clinical relevance of these findings is discussed.
