1. What is Sugammadex Kalceks and what is it used for
What is Sugammadex Kalceks
This medicine contains the active substance sugammadex. It is considered a Selective Relaxant Binding Agentas it only acts with specific muscle relaxants, rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.
What Sugammadex Kalceks is used for
When you undergo certain types of operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This makes the operation easier for the surgeon. To achieve this, the general anesthesia you are given includes medications that relax your muscles. These are called muscle relaxants, such as rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Since these medications also relax the respiratory muscles, you will need help breathing (artificial ventilation) during and after the operation until you can breathe on your own again.
This medicine is used to speed up the recovery of your muscles after an operation and allow you to breathe on your own sooner. It does this by binding to the rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide in your body. It can be used in adults when rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide is used.
It can also be used in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents (from birth to 17 years) when rocuronium bromide is used.

2. What you need to know before you are given Sugammadex Kalceks
Do not receive Sugammadex Kalceks
- 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
Consult your anesthesiologist before you are given Sugammadex Kalceks
- if you have or have had kidney disease. This is important because sugammadex is removed from your body by your kidneys.
- if you have or have had liver disease.
- if you have fluid retention (edema).
- if you have a condition that increases the risk of bleeding or if you are taking anticoagulant medication.
Other medicines and Sugammadex Kalceks
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 to tell your anesthesiologist if you have recently taken:
- toremifene (used to treat breast cancer).
- fusidic acid (an antibiotic).
Sugammadex may affect hormonal contraceptives
This medicine may make hormonal contraceptives - such as the "Pill", vaginal ring, implants, or an Intrauterine Hormonal Device (IUD) - less effective because it reduces the amount of progestogen that reaches you. The amount of progestogen lost due to the use of sugammadex is approximately the same as when you miss a contraceptive pill.
- If you are taking the Pillon the same day that you are given sugammadex, follow the instructions for missed pills in the package leaflet of your pill.
- If you are using otherhormonal contraceptives (e.g., vaginal ring, implant, or IUD), you should use a non-hormonal contraceptive method (such as a condom) for the next 7 days and follow the recommendations in the package leaflet.
Effects on blood tests
Generally, this medicine does not affect laboratory tests. However, it may affect the results of a blood test when progesterone levels are measured. Consult your doctor if your progesterone levels need to be analyzed on the same day you receive sugammadex.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Tell your anesthesiologist if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant or if you are breastfeeding. You may still be given sugammadex, but this needs to be discussed beforehand.
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 sugammadex to the mother.
Driving and using machines
This medicine has no known influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
Sugammadex Kalceks contains sodium
This medicine contains up to 9.7 mg of sodium (a major component of table salt/cooking salt) per ml. This is equivalent to 0.5% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.
3. How Sugammadex Kalceks is given
This medicine will be given to you by your anesthesiologist or under their supervision.
Dose
Your anesthesiologist will calculate the dose of sugammadex 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 patients of any age. A dose of 16 mg/kg may be used in adults if urgent recovery from muscle relaxation is needed.
How Sugammadex Kalceks 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 Kalceks than recommended
Since your anesthesiologist will be carefully monitoring the situation, it is unlikely that you will be given too much sugammadex. But even if this happens, it is unlikely to cause any problems.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your anesthesiologist or doctor.
