Abstract: | ![]() The effect of neostigmine 0.05mg kg1 or pyridostigmine0.25mg kg1 on serum cholinesterase activity was investigatedin 20 adult patients undergoing elective surgery. Both drugsproduced marked depression of enzymatic activity. The maximaldepression was observed in samples taken 5mm after injection.The maximal percentage depression of enzymatic activity wasnot significantly different in the two drug groups. However,at 3060mm after injection, the degree of depression wasless in the neostigmine group. This may be attributed to thedifferent plasma clearances of neostigmine and pyridostigmine. |
