1. What is Sugammadex Tillomed and what is it used for
Not sure if this medicine is right for you?
Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.
What is Sugammadex Tillomed
Sugammadex Tillomed contains the active substance sugammadex. Sugammadex Tillomed is considered a "selective relaxant binding agent" as it only works with specific muscle relaxants, rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide.
What is Sugammadex Tillomed used for
If you need to have surgery, your muscles must be completely relaxed, which makes the operation easier for the surgeon. For 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 Tillomed is used to speed up 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 when rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide is used, and in children and adolescents (between 2 and 17 years old) when rocuronium bromide is used for moderate muscle relaxation.
2. What you need to know before you start using Sugammadex Tillomed
You should not be given Sugammadex Tillomed
- 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 start using Sugammadex Tillomed
- if you have kidney disease or have had it in the past. This is important because Sugammadex Tillomed is eliminated from your body through 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 Tillomed
Tell your anesthesiologist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. Sugammadex Tillomed may affect other medicines or be affected by them.
Some medicines reduce the effect of Sugammadex Tillomed
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 Tillomed may affect hormonal contraceptives
Sugammadex Tillomed 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 that reaches you. The amount of progestogen lost due to the use of Sugammadex Tillomed is approximately the same as when you forget to take a contraceptive pill.
- If you are taking the pill on the same day that you are given Sugammadex Tillomed, follow the instructions in case of a missed dose in the pill leaflet.
- If you are using other hormonal 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 Tillomed 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 you need to have your progesterone levels tested on the same day that you receive Sugammadex Tillomed.
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 Tillomed, but it is necessary to discuss it beforehand.
It is not known whether 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 for the baby and the benefit of Sugammadex Tillomed for the mother.
Driving and using machines
Sugammadex Tillomed has no known influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
Sugammadex Tillomed contains sodium
This medicine contains 9.7 mg of sodium (a major component of cooking/table salt) per ml.
Dose less than or equal to 2.4 ml
A dose of 2.4 ml (or less) contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg), i.e., it is "essentially sodium-free".
Dose greater than 2.4 ml
A dose of 2.4 ml (or more) contains 1 mmol (or more) of sodium (23 mg). This is equivalent to 1.15% (or more) of the maximum recommended daily dietary intake for an adult.
Tell your anesthesiologist if you are on a controlled salt diet.

3. How Sugammadex Tillomed is administered
Sugammadex Tillomed will be administered to you by your anesthesiologist or under their supervision.
Dose
Your anesthesiologist will calculate the dose of Sugammadex Tillomed 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 old. A dose of 16 mg/kg may be used in adults if urgent recovery of muscle relaxation is needed.
How Sugammadex Tillomed is administered
Sugammadex Tillomed will be administered to you by your anesthesiologist. It is given as a single injection into a vein.
If you are given more Sugammadex Tillomed than recommended
Since your anesthesiologist will be carefully monitoring the situation, it is unlikely that you will be given too much Sugammadex Tillomed. But even if this happens, it is unlikely to cause any problems.
If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your anesthesiologist or another doctor.
4. Possible side effects
