edrophonium and Palsy

edrophonium has been researched along with Palsy in 11 studies

Edrophonium: A rapid-onset, short-acting cholinesterase inhibitor used in cardiac arrhythmias and in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. It has also been used as an antidote to curare principles.
edrophonium : A quaternary ammonium ion that is N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylanilinium in which one of the meta positions is substituted by a hydroxy group. It is a reversible inhibitor of cholinesterase, with a rapid onset (30-60 seconds after injection) but a short duration of action (5-15 minutes). The chloride salt is used in myasthenia gravis both diagnostically and to distinguish between under- or over-treatment with other anticholinesterases. It has also been used for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade in anaesthesia, and for the management of poisoning due to tetrodotoxin, a neuromuscular blocking toxin found in puffer fish and other marine animals.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Although edrophonium does not alter plasma cholinesterase activity, we have observed that doses of edrophonium that antagonize paralysis from other nondepolarizing muscle relaxants are less effective with mivacurium."7.69Edrophonium increases mivacurium concentrations during constant mivacurium infusion, and large doses minimally antagonize paralysis. ( Brown, R; Fisher, DM; Gruenke, L; Hart, PS; Lau, M; Miller, RD; Sharma, ML; Wright, PM, 1995)
