Yes, Nimbex (cisatracurium) is associated with hypotension, or low blood pressure, as a known but typically well-tolerated side effect. While the risk of a significant drop is lower than with its predecessor, atracurium, healthcare providers still monitor blood pressure carefully during administration, particularly with higher doses or rapid infusions.

Cisatracurium, an intermediate-acting neuromuscular blocker, is commonly employed during surgery and in the intensive care unit to induce muscle paralysis. Its primary applications include facilitating tracheal intubation and providing skeletal muscle relaxation for mechanical ventilation.
