UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009388	Neostigmine	A cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike PHYSOSTIGMINE, does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

D000077122	Sugammadex	A gamma-cyclodextrin that functions as a reversal agent for the neuromuscular blocker ROCURONIUM BROMIDE.	6-Perdeoxy-6-per(2-carboxyethyl)thio-gamma-cyclodextrin sodium salt,Bridion,Org 25969,Sugammadex Sodium
D047408	gamma-Cyclodextrins	Cyclic GLUCANS consisting of eight (8) glucopyranose units linked by 1,4-glycosidic bonds.	gamma Cyclodextrins
D019148	Neuromuscular Blockade	The intentional interruption of transmission at the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION by external agents, usually neuromuscular blocking agents. It is distinguished from NERVE BLOCK in which nerve conduction (NEURAL CONDUCTION) is interrupted rather than neuromuscular transmission. Neuromuscular blockade is commonly used to produce MUSCLE RELAXATION as an adjunct to anesthesia during surgery and other medical procedures. It is also often used as an experimental manipulation in basic research. It is not strictly speaking anesthesia but is grouped here with anesthetic techniques. The failure of neuromuscular transmission as a result of pathological processes is not included here.	Neuromuscular Block,Block, Neuromuscular,Blockade, Neuromuscular
