1. What is Sugammadex Baxter and how is it used

What is Sugammadex Baxter

This medicationcontains the active ingredient sugammadex. Sugammadex is considered aselective agglutinant of blockersas it only works with specific muscle relaxants, bromide of rocuronium or bromide of vecuronium.

How is Sugammadex Baxter used

If you are to undergo surgery, your muscles must be completely relaxed, which facilitates the surgeon's operation. For this, during general anesthesia, they will give you medications to relax your muscles. They are calledmuscle blockersand some examples are bromide of rocuronium and bromide of vecuronium. As these medications also block the muscles of respiration, you will need help breathing (artificial respiration) during and after your operation until you can breathe on your own again.

Sugammadex Baxteris used to accelerate muscle recovery after surgery 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 17 years), when bromide of rocuronium is used for moderate relaxation.

Sugammadex Baxter may affect hormonal contraceptives

  • Sugammadex Baxtermay make hormonal contraceptives —such as the pill, vaginal ring, implants, or a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) less effective because it reduces the amount of progesterone that reaches you. The amount of progesterone lost due to the use of Sugammadex Baxteris approximately the same as that lost when you forget to take one of the contraceptive pills.

→ If you are taking thePillon the same day that they administer Sugammadex Baxter,follow the instructions “in case of forgetting to take the tablets” from the pill package insert.

3. How Sugammadex Baxter is administered

Sugammadex Baxterwill be administered by your anesthesiologist, or under the supervision of your anesthesiologist.

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. A dose of 16 mg/kg may be used in adults if urgent recovery of muscle relaxation is needed.
