1. What Sugammadex Cipla is and what it is used for

What is sugammadex

This medicine contains the active substance sugammadex. Sugammadex is considered a Selective Relaxant Binding Agentas it only works with specific muscle relaxants, rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.

What sugammadex is used for

If you have to undergo surgery, your muscles must be completely relaxed, making it easier for the surgeon to perform the operation. For this, you will be given medications during general anesthesia to relax your muscles. These are called muscle relaxants, and examples include rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Since these medications also block the respiratory muscles, you will need help breathing (artificial respiration) during and after surgery until you can breathe on your own again.

This medicine is used to speed up the recovery of your muscles 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 muscle relaxation.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you are given Sugammadex Cipla

Do not receive Sugammadex Cipla

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

Tell your anesthesiologist if this applies to you.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your anesthesiologist before you are given Sugammadex Cipla

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

Children and adolescents

This medicine is not recommended for children under 2 years of age.

Other medicines and Sugammadex Cipla

Tell your anesthesiologist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

Sugammadex may affect other medicines or be affected by them.

Some medicines reduce the effect of sugammadex

It is especially important that you tell your anesthesiologist if you have recently taken:

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

Sugammadex Cipla may affect hormonal contraceptives

  • This medicine may make hormonal contraceptives - such as the "Pill", vaginal ring, implants, or an Intrauterine Hormonal Device (IUD-h) - less effective because it reduces the amount of progestogen you receive. The amount of progestogen lost due to the use of this medicine is approximately the same as when you miss a birth control pill.
  • If you are taking the Pillon the same day you are given this medicine, follow the instructions for missing a pill in the pill leaflet.
  • If you are using otherhormonal contraceptives (e.g., vaginal ring, implant, or IUD-h), you should use a non-hormonal contraceptive method (such as a condom) for the next 7 days and follow the recommendations in the leaflet.

Effects on blood tests

In general, sugammadex does not affect laboratory tests. However, it may affect the results of a blood test when progesterone levels are measured. Talk to your doctor if your progesterone levels need to be analyzed on the same day you receive this medicine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Tell your anesthesiologist if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant or if you are breastfeeding.

This medicine may still be given to you, but it needs to be discussed first.

It is not known if sugammadex passes into breast milk. Your anesthesiologist will help you decide whether to stop breastfeeding or avoid treatment with sugammadex, considering the benefit of breastfeeding to the baby and the benefit of this medicine to the mother.

Driving and using machines

Sugammadex has no known effects on the ability to drive and use machines.

Sugammadex Cipla contains sodium

This medicine contains up to 9.5 mg of sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) per ml. This is equivalent to 0.5% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.

3. How Sugammadex Cipla is given

This medicine will be given to you by your anesthesiologist or under their supervision.

Dose

Your anesthesiologist will calculate the dose of this medicine you need based on:

  • your weight
  • the amount of muscle relaxant that is still affecting you.

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

How Sugammadex Cipla is given

This medicine will be given to you by your anesthesiologist. It is injected once into a vein.

If you are given more Sugammadex Cipla than recommended

Since your anesthesiologist will be carefully monitoring the situation, it is unlikely that you will be given too much Sugammadex Cipla. But even if this happens, it is unlikely to cause any problems. Toxicology Service, phone: 91 562 04 20.

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