1. What is Rocuronio Kalceks and what is it used for

Rocuronio Kalceks belongs to a group of medicines called muscle relaxants.

Muscle relaxants are used during an operation as part of general anesthesia. When you undergo an operation, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This makes the operation easier for the surgeon.

Rocuronio Kalceks can be used if you are receiving anesthesia to facilitate the insertion of a tube into your trachea for mechanical ventilation (mechanical assistance with breathing).

Rocuronio Kalceks can also be used in the intensive care unit to keep your muscles relaxed.

Doctor consultation

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you are given Rocuronio Kalceks

Rocuronio Kalceks must not be given to you:

  • if you are allergic to rocuronium or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Tell your anesthesiologist if this applies to you.

Warnings and precautions

Tell your anesthesiologist before you are given this medicine:

  • if you are allergic to any muscle relaxant
  • if you have had kidney, heart, vascular, liver, gallbladder, or bile duct disease
  • if you have had diseases that affect the nerves and muscles
  • if you have fluid retention (edema)
  • if you have a history of malignant hyperthermia (sudden fever with palpitations, rapid breathing, and muscle stiffness, pain, and/or weakness).

Tell your anesthesiologist if any of the above situations apply to you.

Certain conditions may influence the effects of Rocuronio Kalceks, for example:

  • low calcium levels in the blood
  • low potassium levels in the blood
  • high magnesium levels in the blood
  • low protein levels in the blood
  • too much carbon dioxide in the blood
  • excessive water loss from the body, for example, due to illness, diarrhea, or sweating
  • excessive breathing that causes insufficient carbon dioxide in the blood (alkalosis)
  • poor general health
  • burns
  • being severely overweight (obesity)
  • very low body temperature (hypothermia).

If you have any of these conditions, your anesthesiologist will take them into account when deciding the correct dose of Rocuronio Kalceks for you.

Children and elderly

Rocuronio Kalceks can be used in children (newborns and adolescents) and elderly patients, but your anesthesiologist must evaluate your medical history first.

Other medicines and Rocuronio Kalceks

Tell your anesthesiologist or doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines or herbal remedies bought without a prescription. Rocuronio Kalceks may affect other medicines or be affected by them.

Medicines that increase the effect of Rocuronio Kalceks:

  • certain antibiotics
  • certain medicines used for heart disease or high blood pressure (diuretics, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, and quinidine)
  • certain anti-inflammatory medicines (corticosteroids)
  • certain medicines used to treat manic depressive syndrome (bipolar disorder)
  • magnesium salts
  • certain medicines used to treat malaria.

Medicines that decrease the effect of Rocuronio Kalceks:

  • certain medicines used to treat epilepsy
  • calcium chloride and potassium chloride
  • certain protease inhibitors called gabexate and ulinastatin.

Additionally, you may be given other medicines before or during surgery that may alter the effects of Rocuronio Kalceks. These include certain anesthetics, other muscle relaxants, medicines such as phenytoin, and medicines that reverse the effect of Rocuronio Kalceks. Rocuronio Kalceks may make certain anesthetics work more quickly. Your anesthesiologist will take this into account when deciding the correct dose of Rocuronio Kalceks for you.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or anesthesiologist before you are given this medicine.

Pregnancy

No adverse effects have been observed in animal studies. However, there are no clinical data on the use of rocuronium bromide in pregnant women. Therefore, rocuronium bromide should be used with caution in pregnant women.

Cesarean section

A doctor will decide whether rocuronium bromide can be used during a cesarean section. The use of rocuronium bromide during a cesarean section has been shown to be safe with a dose of 0.6 mg/kg body weight and has no adverse effects on the baby.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding should be discontinued 6 hours after administration of this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Do not drive or use machines until you are told it is safe to do so. Because Rocuronio Kalceks is given as part of general anesthesia, you may feel tired, weak, or dizzy for some time after. Your anesthesiologist can advise you on the likely duration of these effects.

Rocuronio Kalceks contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per 1 ml, which is essentially "sodium-free".

3. How Rocuronio Kalceks is given to you

Dose

Your anesthesiologist will calculate the dose of Rocuronio Kalceks you need based on:

  • the type of anesthetic,
  • the expected duration of the operation,
  • other medicines you are taking,
  • your state of health.

The usual dose is 0.6 mg per kg body weight and its effect lasts for 30 to 40 minutes.

How Rocuronio Kalceks is given to you

Your anesthesiologist will give you Rocuronio Kalceks by injection into a vein, either as single injections or as a continuous infusion (with a drip).

If you are given too much Rocuronio Kalceks

Because your anesthesiologist will be monitoring your condition carefully, it is unlikely that you will be given too much Rocuronio Kalceks. However, if this happens, your anesthesiologist will keep you breathing artificially (with a respirator) until you can breathe on your own again. You will remain asleep while this happens.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or anesthesiologist.
