Sugammadex

Uses

Sugammadex is used to reverse the effects of certain medications administered during surgery.

How it Works

How Sugammadex works Sugammadex binds to specific muscle relaxants (vecuronium and rocuronium), forming a complex that inactivates these muscle relaxants and prevents them from exerting their effects. As a result, the muscles contract and begin to function normally again.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Sugammadex include vomiting, pain, nausea, hypotension (low blood pressure), and headache.

Expert Advice

  • If you have been taking contraceptive pills, consider additional, non-hormonal methods of contraception (such as condoms) for the next 7 days following Sugammadex administration to prevent pregnancy.
  • Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disorders prior to the administration of this medication.
