Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Katzung & Trevor's Pharmacology: Examination & Board Review, 12e AB - Drugs that relax skeletal muscle are divided into 2 dissimilar groups. The neuromuscular blocking drugs (NM blockers), which act at the skeletal neuromuscular junction, are used to produce muscle paralysis to facilitate surgery or assisted ventilation.
