Rocuronium and vecuronium are marketed in Europe under the trade names ESMERON and NORCURON, respectively.
The remaining three reported deaths involved mix-ups between the anticonvulsant primidone and prednisone; the antiepileptic drug phenytoin sodium and the barbiturate phenobarbital; and Norcuron and the heart failure treatment Natrecor (nesiritide recombinant).
The names NARCAN (naloxone) and NORCURON (vecuronium) look alike when orders are handwritten and sound alike when orders are transmitted verbally.
