Active ingredient description

Pancuronium produces pharmacologic effects similar to those of other non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents. The drug may produce an increase in heart rate which appears to result from a direct blocking effect on the acetylcholine receptors of the heart. Pancuronium causes little or no histamine release and no ganglionic blockade and therefore does not cause hypotension or bronchospasm.
