Mechanism of Doxacurium-Diclofenamide Interaction (Severity Level: Moderate)
Additive neuromuscular blocking effects Click to Show/Hide Mechanism Graph
Drug Name		Doxacurium				Diclofenamide
Mechanism		Neuromuscular blocking agent Neuronal acetylcholine receptor  Antagonist				Neuromuscular blocking effects Hypokalemia
Key Mechanism Factor 1
		Factor Name		Neuronal acetylcholine receptor				Structure Sequence
		Protein Family		Ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family
		Protein Function		After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.     Click to Show/Hide
Mechanism Description		Additive neuromuscular blocking effects by the combination of Doxacurium and Diclofenamide

Recommended Action
Management		Close monitoring for prolonged neuromuscular blockade, potassium replacement when indicated, and neuromuscular blocker dose adjustment is recommended.
