Product Information

• Name: Decamethonium Iodide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Decamethonium Iodide is a non-polymeric, long-term treatment drug that inhibits the production of acetylcholine in the central nervous system. It is used to treat myasthenia gravis and other conditions that involve muscle weakness. Decamethonium Iodide is also an effective antimicrobial agent against bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Studies have shown that this drug has an inhibitory effect on the growth of model organisms such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The inhibitory effects on cell cultures are due to its ability to bind to chloride ions and block hydrogen bonds between the cells. Clinical studies have shown decamethonium iodide to be safe for use in humans with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS during abdominal surgery or for patients who require ganglion cell ablation.br>br>
