1. What is Rocuronium Tamarang and what is it used for
Rocuronium Tamarang belongs to a group of medicines called muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants are used during an operation as part of a general anesthetic. When you undergo an operation, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This makes it easier for the surgeon to perform the operation. Normally, nerves send messages to muscles through impulses. Rocuronium Tamarang works by blocking these impulses so that the muscles relax. Because your respiratory muscles also relax, you will need help breathing (artificial ventilation) during and after the operation until you can breathe on your own again.
During the operation, your anesthesiologist will control the effect of the muscle relaxant and, if necessary, give you more. At the end of the surgery, the effects of the medicine are allowed to wear off, and you will start breathing on your own. Sometimes, the anesthesiologist will give you another medicine to help speed up this process.
Rocuronium Tamarang can also be used in the Intensive Care Unit for short-term use to keep your muscles relaxed.

Driving and using machines
Do not drive or use machines until you are told it is safe to do so. Because Rocuronium Tamarang is administered as part of a general anesthetic, you may feel tired, weak, or dizzy for some time after. Your anesthesiologist can advise you on the likely duration of the effects.

3. How Rocuronium Tamarang is administered

How Rocuronium Tamarang is administered
Your anesthesiologist will give you Rocuronium Tamarang by intravenous injection (into a vein), either as single injections or as a continuous infusion (a drip).
This medicine is for single use only. Any unused solution for injection/infusion must be discarded.
If you are given more Rocuronium Tamarang than recommended
Because your anesthesiologist will be carefully monitoring your condition, it is unlikely that you will be given too much Rocuronium Tamarang.
