Hexafluronium is a synthetic bis-quaternary ammonium muscle relaxant that acts as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It was previously used as an adjunct to anesthesia to induce skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or artificial ventilation. Hexafluronium is not commonly used today and is generally considered obsolete, having been replaced by newer agents.
