Succinylcholine: A quaternary skeletal muscle relaxant usually used in the form of its bromide, chloride, or iodide. It is a depolarizing relaxant, acting in about 30 seconds and with a duration of effect averaging three to five minutes.

succinylcholine : A quaternary ammonium ion that is the bis-choline ester of succinic acid.
