ARDUAN (pipecuronium bromide) is a neuromuscular blocking agent administered via injection, used to facilitate intubation and provide skeletal muscle relaxation during anesthesia. It belongs to the aminosteroid class of neuromuscular blockers and works by competitively blocking acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This injectable agent is a legacy product in the anesthesia market with limited modern clinical expansion.
