Sugammadex is a modified gamma cyclodextrin designed to selectively reverse the effects of the neuromuscular blockers rocuronium and vecuronium.
Sugammadex reverses the effects of certain medications used during surgical procedures to relax your muscles. It is typically administered at the end of surgery to help restore muscle function that may have been temporarily blocked by other medications used during the procedure.
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives, skin rash or redness; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Tell your caregivers right away if you have:
Common side effects of sugammadex may include:
It works by forming a complex with these drugs, reducing their availability to bind to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular junction. Sugammadex creates a concentration gradient which favors movement of rocurionium from the neuromuscular junction into the plasma, which quickly reverses rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.
You should not use sugammadex if you are allergic to it.
To make sure sugammadex is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
It is not known whether sugammadex will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.
Sugammadex can make hormonal birth control less effective. For at least 7 days after you receive sugammadex, use a non-hormonal back-up birth control (condom or diaphragm with spermicide) to prevent pregnancy. Hormonal contraception (birth control pills, injections, implants, skin patches, and vaginal rings) may not be effective enough to prevent pregnancy during this time.
Q1. What happens if I miss a dose?
Since sugammadex is used as a single dose, it does not have a daily dosing schedule.
Q2. What happens if I overdose?
Since sugammadex is given by a healthcare professional in a medical setting, an overdose is unlikely to occur.
Follow your doctor’s instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity.
Q4. What other drugs will affect sugammadex?
Tell your doctor about all your current medicines, especially:
Other drugs may interact with sugammadex, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.
