1. Why am I using SUGAMMADEX DR.REDDY’S?
SUGAMMADEX DR.REDDY’S contains the active ingredient sugammadex sodium. SUGAMMADEX DR.REDDY’S is one of a group of medicines called Selective Relaxant Binding Agents.
SUGAMMADEX DR.REDDY’S is used to speed up recovery of your muscles after an operation.
During some operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This makes it easier for the surgeon to perform the operation. To make your muscles relax, the general anaesthetic includes muscle relaxants such as rocuronium or vecuronium. Because the muscles needed for breathing also become relaxed, you will need help with your breathing (artificial ventilation) during and after your operation until you can breathe on your own again.
SUGAMMADEX DR.REDDY’S is used to stop the muscle relaxants working. It does this by combining with rocuronium or vecuronium in your body.
SUGAMMADEX DR.REDDY’S is given to speed up your recovery from the muscle relaxant - for example, at the end of an operation to allow you to breathe normally earlier.
