How to Use
Dosage

It is given as a single injection into a vein (intravenously).
Important
Your anesthetist will decide your dose based on your weight and how much muscle relaxant you received; there is no standard 'maximum daily dose' for self-administration.
Possible Side Effects
COMMON
- •Cough
- •Breathing difficulties, such as coughing or moving as if waking up or gasping for air.
- •Light anesthesia, meaning you might start waking up from deep sleep and need more anesthetic, which could cause you to move or cough at the end of surgery.
- •Complications during the procedure, such as changes in heart rate, coughing, movement, or a drop in blood pressure due to surgery.
RARE
- •Shortness of breath due to muscle spasms in the airways (bronchospasm), seen in patients with a history of lung problems.
- •Allergic reactions (drug hypersensitivity) such as rash, red skin, swelling of the tongue and/or throat, shortness of breath, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, sometimes leading to a severe drop in blood pressure. Severe allergic or allergy-like reactions can be life-threatening.
- •Allergic reactions were reported more often in healthy, conscious volunteers.
- •Return of muscle relaxation after surgery (meaning the muscle relaxant's effect comes back).
- •Severe slowing of the heart rate and heart beat, potentially leading to cardiac arrest, may occur when Sugammadex Reddy is given.
