FDA Drug Information
Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Sugammadex injection is indicated for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide in adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older undergoing surgery. Additional pediatric use information is approved for Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC's BRIDION ® (sugammadex) injection. However, due to Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC's marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. Sugammadex injection is indicated for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide in adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older undergoing surgery.

Mechanism of Action
12.1 Mechanism of Action Sugammadex is a modified gamma cyclodextrin. It forms a complex with the neuromuscular blocking agents rocuronium and vecuronium, and it reduces the amount of neuromuscular blocking agent available to bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the neuromuscular junction. This results in the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium and vecuronium.

It forms a complex with the neuromuscular blocking agents rocuronium and vecuronium, and it reduces the amount of neuromuscular blocking agent available to bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the neuromuscular junction. This results in the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium and vecuronium. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Sugammadex has been administered in doses ranging from 0.5 mg/kg to 16 mg/kg in dose response trials of rocuronium-induced blockade (0.6, 0.9, 1 and 1.2 mg/kg with and without maintenance doses) and vecuronium-induced blockade (0.1 mg/kg with or without maintenan…

Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Toremifene : Concomitant use can delay recovery. ( 7.2 ) Hormonal contraceptives : Patients must use an additional, non-hormonal method of contraception for 7 days following sugammadex administration. ( 5.6 , 7.3 ) 7.1 Summary The information reported in sections 7.2 to 7.4 is based on binding affinity between sugammadex and other drugs, preclinical experiments, clinical studies and simulations of a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model. Based on these considerations,…
Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Dosing is based on actual body weight ( 2.1 ) • Monitor for twitch responses to determine the timing and dose for sugammadex injection administration. ( 2.1 ) • Administer as a single bolus injection. ( 2.1 ) For rocuronium and vecuronium: • 4 mg/kg is recommended if spontaneous recovery of the twitch response has reached 1 to 2 post-tetanic counts (PTC) and there are no twitch responses to train-of-four (TOF) stimulation. ( 2.2 ) • 2 mg/kg is recommended if spontan…
