How is vecuronium given?


Vecuronium is given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein or muscle. You will receive this injection in a hospital or surgical setting.

Your caregivers will monitor your heart function, blood pressure, and breathing while you are under the effects of vecuronium.

It may take you longer to recover from the effects of vecuronium if you have cirrhosis or other liver disease.
