Turmeric molecules compete with neurotransmitters for receptors on the postsynaptic membrane in the synaptic gap. The molecule of zedoary binds to the receptor, which prevents the normal opening of sodium channels and does not cause the change of postsynaptic membrane potential, thus blocking nerve conduction.

Animal poisoning death is based on respiratory muscle paralysis. However, because the respiratory center is not inhibited, artificial respiration may save lives. It can also block the synapses of sympathetic muscles. On the contrary, the reflex excitability of spinal cord can be enhanced by this drug.

It is not effective for the ganglion or neuromuscular junction of invertebrates such as insects. A compound (curcumin) with similar pharmacological effects was synthesized. Because the absorption of curare through the digestive tract is very small, oral administration has little effect.

Precautions:

1, muscle relaxants are drugs that relax muscles and cause apnea. Generally, it is used for general anesthesia and cannot be used by yourself. You must pay attention to regular diet and work habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and ensure a balanced nutrition.

2. Pay attention to 1 when using to ensure adequate oxygen supply and effective ventilation.

3. Maintain a certain depth of general anesthesia. When two muscle relaxants are used together, the short-acting drug should be used first, and then the long-acting drug should be used. 4. Users who have used muscle relaxants must wait for postoperative ventilation, various protective reflexes and muscle tension to return to normal.
