WHAT SUGAMMADEX TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR WHAT SUGAMMADEX TEVA IS Sugammadex Teva contains the active substance sugammadex. Sugammadex Teva is considered to be a _Selective Relaxant Binding Agent_ since it only works with specific muscle relaxants, rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide. WHAT SUGAMMADEX TEVA IS USED FOR When you have some types of operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. This makes it easier for the surgeon to do the operation. For this, the general anaesthetic you are given includes medicines to make your muscles relax. These are called _muscle relaxants_ , and examples include rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Because these medicines also make your breathing muscles relax, you need help to breathe (artificial ventilation) during and after your operation until you can breathe on your own again. Sugammadex Teva is used to speed up the recovery of your muscles after an operation to allow you to breathe on your own again earlier. It does this by combining with the rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide in your body. It can be used in adults whenever rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide is used and in children and adolescents (aged 2 to 17 years) when rocuronium bromide is used for a moderate level o Read the complete document

For the paediatric population: sugammadex is only recommended for routine reversal of rocuronium induced blockade in children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 years. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Posology Sugammadex Teva should only be administered by, or under the supervision of an anaesthetist. The use of an appropriate neuromuscular monitoring technique is recommended to monitor the recovery of neuromuscular blockade (see section 4.4). The recommended dose of sugammadex depends on the level of neuromuscular blockade to be reversed. The recommended dose does not depend on the anaesthetic regimen. Sugammadex Teva can be used to reverse different levels of rocuronium or vecuronium induced neuromuscular blockade: _Adults_ Routine reversal: A dose of 4 mg/kg sugammadex is recommended if recovery has reached at least 1-2 post-tetanic counts (PTC) following rocuronium or vecuronium induced blockade. Median time to recovery of the T 4 /T 1 ratio to 0.9 is around 3 minutes (see section 5.1). A dose of 2 mg/kg sugammadex is recommended, if spontaneous recovery has occurred up to at least the reappe Read the complete document
