Label: Information for the User
Sugammadex Tarbis 100 mg/ml Injectable Solution EFG
Read this label carefully before you receive this medication, as it contains important information for you.
What is Sugammadex Tarbis
Sugammadex Tarbis contains the active ingredient sugammadex. Sugammadex is considered a Selective Binding Agent as it only works with specific muscle relaxants, namely rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.
What is Sugammadex Tarbis used for
If you need to undergo surgery, your muscles must be completely relaxed, which facilitates the surgeon's operation. To achieve this, during general anesthesia, they will administer medications to relax your muscles. These are called muscle relaxants, and examples include rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. As these medications also block respiratory muscles, you will need assistance with breathing (artificial respiration) during and after your operation until you can breathe on your own again.
Sugammadex is used to accelerate 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 whenever 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.
Do not receive Sugammadex Tarbis
→ Inform your anesthesiologist if this is the case.

Effects on blood tests

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

It is possible that sugammadex will still be administered, but it is necessary to discuss it.
