1. What is Sugammadex Noridem and what is it used for
What is Sugammadex Noridem
This medicine contains the active substance sugammadex. Sugammadex is considered a Selective Relaxant Binding Agent as it only works with specific muscle relaxants, namely rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.
What Sugammadex Noridem is used for
If you need to have surgery, your muscles must be completely relaxed, making it easier for the surgeon to perform the operation. To achieve this, you will be given medications during general anesthesia to relax your muscles. These are called muscle relaxants, such as 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.
Sugammadex 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 binding to 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.

2. What you need to know before you are given Sugammadex Noridem
Do not receive Sugammadex Noridem
- 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 starting the administration of sugammadex
- if you have any kidney disease or have had it in the past. This is important because Sugammadex Noridem is eliminated from your body by the 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 coagulation disorders) or are taking anticoagulant medication.
Children and Adolescents
This medicine is not recommended for children under 2 years of age.
Other Medicines and Sugammadex Noridem
→ 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 Noridem
→ 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 Noridem 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 sugammadex is approximately the same as that lost when you miss a contraceptive pill.
→ If you are taking the pillon the same day that you are given sugammadex, follow the instructions in case of a missed pill in the pill's package 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 package leaflet.
Effects on Blood Tests
In general, Sugammadex Noridem 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 this medicine.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
→ Tell your anesthesiologist if you are pregnant or might be pregnant or if you are breastfeeding.
It may still be given to you, but it needs to be discussed beforehand.
It is not known if sugammadex can pass into breast milk. Your anesthesiologist will help you decide whether to interrupt 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
Sugammadex Noridem has no known influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
Sugammadex Noridem Contains Sodium
This medicine contains up to 9.19 mg of sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) per ml. This is equivalent to 0.46% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.
3. How Sugammadex Noridem is Given
Sugammadex will be administered by your anesthesiologist or under the supervision of your anesthesiologist.
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 adults and for children and adolescents between 2-17 years. A dose of 16 mg/kg can be used in adults if urgent recovery from muscle relaxation is needed.
How Sugammadex Noridem is Given
This medicine will be administered by your anesthesiologist. It is injected once into a vein.
If you are given more Sugammadex Noridem than recommended
Since your anesthesiologist will be carefully monitoring the situation, it is unlikely that you will be given too much Sugammadex Noridem. But even if this happens, it is unlikely to cause any problems.
If you have any other questions about the use of this medicine, ask your anesthesiologist or another doctor.
