RAPLON

RAPLON
Raplon (rapacuronium bromide) is an anesthetic used to relax skeletal muscles during surgery. It was approved for use by the FDA in August of 1999. Raplon is being voluntarily pulled off the market by its manufacturer Organon, because it may cause death and severe breathing difficulties like bronchospasm.

Injury
Raplon was shown to have several adverse side effects. Raplon was linked with a condition known as bronchiospasm which if occurred during the procedure was serious and could produce fatal results. Warnings were issued to clinicians about the possible dangers of Raplon but it was decided that the risk was too great. In the clinical trials of Raplon 32 percent of the patients experienced some form of adverse reaction and letter after its usage was approved problems were experienced.
