What is Sugammadex Teva

This medication contains the active ingredient sugammadex. Sugammadex is considered aSelective Blocker Bindersince it only works with specific muscle relaxants, bromide of rocuronium or bromide of vecuronium.

For what Sugammadex Teva is used

When you have some types of operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This facilitates the surgeon's operation. For this, during general anesthesia, they will give you medications so that your muscles relax. They are calledmuscle relaxants, and as an example, bromide of rocuronium and bromide of vecuronium are included. Since those medications also block the muscles of breathing, you will need help to breathe (artificial respiration) during and after your operation until you can breathe again on your own.

This medication is used to accelerate the recovery of muscles after an operation so that you can breathe on your own again sooner. It does this by combining with bromide of rocuronium or bromide of vecuronium in your body. It can be used in adults as long as bromide of rocuronium or bromide of vecuronium is used and in children and adolescents (between 2 and 17years), when bromide of rocuronium is used for a moderate level of relaxation.

You should not receive Sugammadex Teva

• if you are allergic to sugammadex or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section6).

→ Inform your anesthesiologist if this is the case.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your anesthesiologist before startingthe administration of this medication

• if you have any kidney disease or have had it in the past. This is important because sugammadex is eliminated from your body by your kidneys.
• if you have liver disease or have had it previously.
• if you have fluid retention (edema).
• if you have a disease that increases the risk of bleeding (blood clotting disorders) or are taking anticoagulant medication.

Other medications and Sugammadex Teva

→ Inform your anesthesiologist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.

Sugammadex may affect other medications or be affected by them.

Some medications reduce the effect of Sugammadex Teva

→It is especially important to inform your anesthesiologist if you have taken recently:

• toremifeno (used to treat breast cancer).
• acid fusidic (an antibiotic).

Sugammadex Teva may affect hormonal contraceptives

• Sugammadex may make hormonal contraceptives‑such as "The Pill", vaginal ring, implants, or a Hormonal Intrauterine Device (IUD‑h) less effective because it reduces the amount of progestin hormone that reaches you. The amount of progestin hormone lost due to the use of sugammadex is approximately the same as when you forget a contraceptive pill.

→ If you are takingThe Pillon the same day that sugammadex is administered, follow the instructions in case of missing a pill from the pill package.

→ If you are usingotherhormonal contraceptives (for example vaginal ring, implant, or IUD‑h) you should use a non-hormonal contraceptive method (such as a condom) for the next 7days and follow the recommendations in the package insert.

Effects on blood tests

In general, sugammadex has no effect on laboratory tests. However, it may affect the results of a blood test when measuring progesterone hormone levels. Consult your doctor if your progesterone levels need to be analyzed on the same day you receive sugammadex.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

→Inform your anesthesiologist if you are pregnant or may be pregnant or if you are breastfeeding.

It is possible that you will still receive this medication, but it is necessary to discuss it first.

No information is available on whether sugammadex can pass into breast milk. Your anesthesiologist will help you decide whether to stop breastfeeding or avoid treatment with sugammadex, considering the benefits of breastfeeding for the baby and the benefits of sugammadex for the mother.

Driving and operating machinery

Sugammadex has no known influence on the ability to drive and operate machinery.

Dose

Your anesthesiologist will calculate the dose of sugammadex that you need based on:

• Your weight
• The amount of muscle relaxant still in effect.

The usual dose is 2-4 mg per kg of body weight for adults and for children and adolescents between 2-17 years old. A dose of 16 mg/kg may be used in adults if urgent recovery of muscle relaxation is needed.

How Sugammadex Teva is Administered
