A neuromuscular blocking agent, primarily used for intubation facilitation during anesthesia. It has a rapid onset and intermediate duration of action.

A neuromuscular blocking agent used for muscle relaxation during surgery. It has a long duration of action and is often used for intermediate or prolonged procedures.

A neuromuscular blocking agent, similar in action to pancuronium but with a shorter duration. It's often used for short-term procedures.

A neuromuscular blocking agent with a rapid onset and a duration of action that's dependent on the dose. Often used for short procedures requiring prompt muscle relaxation.

A muscle relaxant used to treat painful muscle spasms. It works by reducing nervous system activity in the spinal cord.

A centrally acting muscle relaxant mainly used for muscle spasms. It works by reducing the activity of neurons in the spinal cord.

A muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasms and reduce pain. It works by affecting the central nervous system.

A local anesthetic that works by temporarily blocking nerve signals. It's often used for minor surgical procedures, dental procedures, and pain relief.

A local anesthetic similar to lidocaine, but with a longer duration of action. It's often used for nerve blocks and spinal anesthesia.

A local anesthetic used for surface anaesthesia. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals on the skin's surface.

A combination of local anesthetics that provides rapid and effective pain relief. It's used for surface anaesthesia of the skin.

A local anesthetic that forms a temporary barrier on the skin surface, blocking nerve signals and providing pain relief.

A medication used to treat Parkinson's disease, often given with levodopa to improve its effectiveness.

Another drug for Parkinson's, taken daily, to reduce symptoms.

A drug that works alongside levodopa-carbidopa to control Parkinson's symptoms, taken with each levodopa-carbidopa dose.

A medication used to treat Parkinson's symptoms, taken twice daily.
