What is Sugammadex Teva
This medication contains the active ingredient sugammadex. Sugammadex is considered aSelective Blocker Bindersince it only works with specific muscle relaxants, bromide of rocuronium or bromide of vecuronium.
For what Sugammadex Teva is used
When you have some types of operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This facilitates the surgeon's operation. For this, during general anesthesia, they will give you medications so that your muscles relax. They are calledmuscle relaxants, and as an example, bromide of rocuronium and bromide of vecuronium are included. Since those medications also block the muscles of breathing, you will need help to breathe (artificial respiration) during and after your operation until you can breathe again on your own.
This medication is used to accelerate the recovery of muscles after an operation 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 17years), when bromide of rocuronium is used for a moderate level of relaxation.
