1. What is Sugammadex Orion and what is it used for
What is Sugammadex Orion
Sugammadex Orion contains the active substance sugammadex. Sugammadex Orion is considered a selective relaxant binding agentbecause it only works with certain muscle relaxants - rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.
What is Sugammadex Orion used for
In some types of surgery, the patient's muscles must be completely relaxed. This allows the surgeon to perform the operation more easily. To achieve this, muscle relaxants are given during general anaesthesia. These are called muscle relaxantsand include rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Because these medicines also cause relaxation of the respiratory muscles, assisted breathing (artificial ventilation) is necessary during and after surgery until the patient's own breathing returns. Sugammadex Orion is used to speed up the recovery of the muscles after surgery, so that the patient can breathe on their own again sooner. Its action involves binding to rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide in the body. The medicine can be used in adults when rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide has been given. It can be used in newborns, infants, small children, children, and adolescents (from birth to 17 years) when rocuronium bromide has been given.
2. Important information before you are given Sugammadex Orion
When not to use Sugammadex Orion
- if you are allergic to sugammadex or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). In this case, inform your anaesthesiologist.
Warnings and precautions
Before Sugammadex Orion is given, discuss this with your anaesthesiologist
- if you have had kidney disease in the past. This is important because Sugammadex Orion is removed from the body through the kidneys.
- if you have had liver disease in the past or currently have liver disease
- if you have fluid retention in your body (oedema)
- if you have conditions that increase the risk of bleeding (blood clotting disorders) or are taking anticoagulant medicines.
Sugammadex Orion and other medicines
Tell your anaesthesiologist about all medicines you are taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take. Sugammadex Orion may affect the action of other medicines, or other medicines may affect the action of Sugammadex Orion. Some medicines reduce the effectiveness of Sugammadex Orion. It is especially important to inform your anaesthesiologist if you have taken the following medicines recently:
- toremifene (used to treat breast cancer)
- fusidic acid (an antibiotic).
Sugammadex Orion may affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives
- Sugammadex Orion may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, including the "pill", vaginal ring, implant, or intrauterine system that releases progestogen (hormonal intrauterine device), because it reduces the amount of hormone delivered. The amount of progestogen lost due to Sugammadex Orion is roughly equivalent to missing one contraceptive pill. → If you are taking the "pill" on the same day that Sugammadex Orion is given, follow the instructions for missing a pill in the package leaflet for your hormonal contraceptive. → If you are using other hormonal contraceptives (such as a vaginal ring, implant, or intrauterine system), use an additional non-hormonal contraceptive method (such as condoms) for the next 7 days and follow the instructions in the package leaflet for your contraceptive.
Effect on laboratory tests
Sugammadex Orion usually does not affect laboratory test results. However, it may affect the results of blood tests for a hormone called progesterone. If your progesterone level is to be tested on the same day that Sugammadex Orion is given, inform your doctor.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Inform your anaesthesiologist if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding. Sugammadex Orion can still be used in pregnant women, but this should be discussed with your doctor first. It is not known whether sugammadex passes into breast milk. Your anaesthesiologist will help you decide whether to stop breastfeeding or avoid treatment with Sugammadex Orion, considering the benefits of breastfeeding for your baby and the benefits of treatment with Sugammadex Orion for you.
Driving and using machines
The effect of Sugammadex Orion on the ability to drive and use machines is not known.
Sugammadex Orion contains sodium
The medicine contains up to 9.5 mg of sodium (the main component of common salt) per ml of solution for injection. This is equivalent to 0.5% of the maximum recommended daily intake of sodium in the diet for adults.

3. How Sugammadex Orion is given
Sugammadex Orion will be given to you by your anaesthesiologist or under the supervision of your anaesthesiologist.

How Sugammadex Orion is given

If more Sugammadex Orion is given than recommended
Because your anaesthesiologist closely monitors your condition, it is unlikely that you will be given too much Sugammadex Orion. However, if this happens, no problems should occur. If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your anaesthesiologist or another doctor.
