Typically, three drugs are used in succession to perform euthanasia: Sodium thiopental is used to induce unconsciousness; Pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) to cause muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest; and Potassium chloride to stop the heart.

How do you prevent euthanasia?

Euthanasia is not a condition or symptom. Euthanasia is the process by which sodium pentatol or some form of similar drug is injected into the bloodstream in very large doses, so as to purposely cause the death of the individual. This is what Veterinarians do to pets when they are being "put down" humanely. It is also the process used to humanely execute prisoners on death row in some states. Hope this helps. It was hard to tell what you meant by your question, as I think you are confused by the term "euthanasia" and what it pertains to. I supposed one would prevent euthanasia by not overdosing on medications they have been prescribed. Always take medications as directed by your doctor. never self medicate.
