Possible Side Effects
COMMON
- •Cough

- •Decreased blood pressure due to the surgical procedure.
RARE

- •Allergic reactions (drug hypersensitivity), such as rash, red skin, swelling of your tongue and/or throat, shortness of breath, changes in blood pressure or heart rhythm, sometimes leading to a severe drop in blood pressure. Severe allergic or allergy-like reactions can be life-threatening.
- •Return of muscle relaxation after surgery.
- •Severe slowing of the heart rate and slowing of the heart leading to cardiac arrest may occur when Sugammadex hameln is given.
