causes unconsciousness but provides little pain relief; often administered with analgesics . It may be toxic to the liver in adults. Halothane, however, has a pleasant smell and is therefore often the anesthetic of choice when mask induction is used

Could halothane alter motor neuron function to produce strong muscle contraction?

Halothane is an inhalational anesthetic that primarily acts by depressing the central nervous system and altering neurotransmitter release. While it can affect motor neuron function, its primary effect is not to produce strong muscle contractions but rather to induce muscle relaxation and reduce motor activity. In high concentrations, halothane can lead to muscle rigidity in some cases, but this is not a typical response and is not indicative of promoting strong contractions. Overall, halothane is more associated with muscle relaxation than with enhancing muscle contraction.
