During COVID-19 pandemic the frontline healthcare workers have been at risk the most. Long workinghours, emotional stress from not seeing families for days together takes a toll on the psychological wellbeingof a person. This leads to increase incidence of self-harm amongst the individuals. Vecuroniumbromide is a muscle relaxant, easy availability of such drugs amongst the medical professionals is a matterof great concern. Monitoring and cautious dispensing of them should be done.
