(Redirected from Kurare)
Curare (also known as arrow poison) is a substance from some South American trees that blocks neuromuscular transmission and thus paralyzes the activity of skeletal muscle.[1] Paralysis of the respiratory muscles is fatal. Today, similar (so-called substances curareform[2]) substances are used as muscle relaxants during operations to remove muscle tension.[1]
