1. What Sugammadex Provepharm 100 mg/ml Solution for Injection is and what it is used for
What Sugammadex Provepharm 100 mg/ml Solution for Injection is
Sugammadex Provepharm 100 mg/ml Solution for Injection contains the active substance sugammadex. Sugammadex is considered a selective relaxant binding agent because it only works with specific muscle relaxants, rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.
What Sugammadex Provepharm 100 mg/ml Solution for Injection is used for
If you need to have surgery, your muscles must be completely relaxed, which makes the operation easier for the surgeon. For this, you will be given medicines during general anesthesia to relax your muscles.
These are called muscle relaxants, and examples include rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Since these medicines also block the respiratory muscles, you will need help breathing (artificial respiration) during and after surgery until you can breathe on your own again.
Sugammadex is used to speed up muscle recovery after surgery so that you can breathe on your own again sooner. It does this by combining with rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide in your body.
It can be used in adults when rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide is used, and in children and adolescents (between 2 and 17 years), when rocuronium bromide is used for moderate relaxation.
