When you have
some ty
pes of operation
s, you
r muscles must be completely
relaxed. This m

medicines to
make your muscles relax. Thes
e are called
muscle relaxants
, and exam

eed help
to breathe (arti

ntilation) during and aft
er y
our operation until you
can b
reathe on your own again.
Bridion is us

overy of your muscles after a
n operation to
a
llow you to bre
athe on
y
our own again
earlier. It does thi
s by com
bining with the r

bromid
e in your body. It can be use
d in adults whenever rocuronium
bromide
or vecuronium bromide
is used and in children and
