1. What is Sugammadex Reig Jofre and what is it used for
What is Sugammadex Reig Jofre
This medicine contains the active substance sugammadex. Sugammadex Reig Jofre is considered a selective
muscle relaxant binding agent, as it only acts on certain muscle relaxants
- rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.
What is Sugammadex Reig Jofre used for
In case of certain 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 administered during general anesthesia. These are called muscle relaxantsand include rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide.
Since 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 Reig Jofre is used to accelerate the recovery of muscles after surgery, so that the patient can breathe on their own as soon as possible.
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 administered, as well as in children and adolescents (from 2 to 17 years old) when rocuronium bromide has been administered for moderate muscle relaxation.

Children and adolescents
It is not recommended to use this medicine in infants under 2 years of age.
Sugammadex Reig Jofre and other medicines
Tell the anesthesiologist about all medicines the patient is taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take.
Sugammadex Reig Jofre may affect the action of other medicines, or other medicines may affect the action of Sugammadex Reig Jofre.
Some medicines reduce the effectiveness of Sugammadex Reig Jofre
It is especially important to inform the anesthesiologist if the patient has recently taken the following medicines:
- toremifene (used to treat breast cancer).
- fusidic acid (an antibiotic).
Sugammadex Reig Jofre may affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives
Sugammadex Reig Jofre may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, including the "pill", vaginal ring, implant, or intrauterine system releasing progestogen (hormonal intrauterine device), as it reduces the amount of hormone delivered. The amount of progestogen lost due to the use of Sugammadex Reig Jofre is roughly equivalent to missing one contraceptive pill.
If the "pill" is taken on the same day that Sugammadex Reig Jofre is administered, follow the instructions for missing a pill in the hormonal contraceptive leaflet.
If otherhormonal contraceptives are used (such as a vaginal ring, implant, or hormonal intrauterine device), use an additional non-hormonal contraceptive method (e.g., condoms) for the next 7 days and follow the recommendations in the contraceptive leaflet.
Effect on blood test results
Usually, Sugammadex Reig Jofre does not affect laboratory test results. However, it may affect the results of blood tests for a hormone called progesterone. Consult a doctor if the progesterone level in the blood needs to be checked on the same day that Sugammadex Reig Jofre is administered.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks she may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, she should consult an anesthesiologist before using this medicine.
The patient can still be given Sugammadex Reig Jofre, but this should be discussed with the doctor.
It is not known whether sugammadex passes into breast milk. The anesthesiologist will help the patient decide whether to stop breastfeeding or avoid treatment with sugammadex, considering the benefits of breastfeeding for the baby and the benefits of treatment with Sugammadex Reig Jofre for the mother.

Sugammadex Reig Jofre has no known effect on the ability to drive and use machines.

Dose

- the patient's body weight,
- the dose of the muscle relaxant used. The usual dose is from 2 mg/kg body weight to 4 mg/kg body weight in adults and children and adolescents from 2 to 17 years old. If rapid recovery of muscle tension is necessary, a dose of 16 mg/kg body weight can be used in adults.
How Sugammadex Reig Jofre is administered
Sugammadex Reig Jofre is administered by an anesthesiologist. It is given as a single injection through an intravenous line.
Overdose of Sugammadex Reig Jofre
