rocuronium bromide<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rocuronium B. Braun belongs to a group of medicines called muscle relaxants. In normal cases, the nerves send messages to the muscles in the form of impulses. Rocuronium B. Braun works by blocking these impulses so that the muscles become relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have surgery, your muscles must be completely relaxed.\u00a0This makes it easier for the\u00a0surgeon\u00a0to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general\u00a0anesthesia\u00a0in\u00a0adults and children<\/em>, Rocuronium B. Braun can be used to facilitate the insertion of a tube into your trachea to facilitate breathing (mechanically assisted breathing) and to ensure that your muscles are relaxed during surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In\u00a0adults<\/em>, the doctor may also use this medicine as a short-term adjunctive medication in the intensive care unit (eg to make it easier to insert a tube into the trachea).\u00a0In addition, you can get this medicine in emergencies if a tube needs to be quickly inserted into the trachea before surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using Rocuronium B. Braun<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You may be given other medicines during the procedure that may affect the effect of rocuronium.\u00a0These include certain anesthetics (eg local anesthetics and\u00a0inhaled anesthetics\u00a0), other muscle relaxants, and protamine which counteracts the\u00a0anticoagulant\u00a0effect (prevention of blood clots) in\u00a0heparin.\u00a0Your doctor will take this into account when deciding which\u00a0dose\u00a0is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are very limited data on the use of Rocuronium B. Braun in pregnant women and no data are available for use in breastfeeding women.\u00a0Rocuronium B. Braun should only be given to pregnant and lactating women as the doctor considers that the benefits outweigh the risks.\u00a0Rocuronium B. Braun can be given by cesarean section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No data are available on the effect of this drug on\u00a0fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rocuronium B. Braun has a significant effect on the ability to drive and use machines. Therefore, it is recommended not to drive or use potentially hazardous machinery for the first 24 hours after complete recovery from the effect of the drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor should tell you when you can start driving and using machines again. Anyone treated with Rocuronium B. Braun should always be followed home by an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased vigilance.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains less than 1 mmol\u00a0sodium\u00a0(23 mg) per\u00a0dose, ie essentially ‘sodium-free’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rocuronium B. Braun is given to you by your anesthetist.\u00a0It is given\u00a0intravenously\u00a0either as a single\u00a0injection\u00a0or as a\u00a0continuous\u00a0infusion\u00a0(over a long period) into a vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adults<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The usual\u00a0dose\u00a0is 0.6 mg per kg body weight and the effect lasts 30 – 40 minutes.\u00a0During the operation, the effect of Rocuronium B. Braun is monitored continuously.\u00a0Your doctor may therefore give you additional\u00a0doses\u00a0of the medicine depending on your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If necessary, you can get extra\u00a0doses.\u00a0Dose\u00a0one is adjusted by the anesthesiologist according to your needs.\u00a0Dose\u00a0one depends on many factors, such as concomitant use of other drugs (their interaction), taking into account the estimated duration of surgery as well as your age and your clinical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine is for single use only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine can be given to newborns (0-27 days), infants and toddlers (28 days to 23 months), children (2-11 years), and adolescents (12 to 17 years).\u00a0The anesthetist adjusts the\u00a0dose\u00a0according to your child’s needs.\u00a0The doctor takes into account that higher infusion rates may be necessary for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Experience with rocuronium bromide in a specific type of\u00a0anesthesia, so-called rapid induction, is limited in children and adolescents.\u00a0Rocuronium bromide is therefore not recommended for this purpose in children and adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elderly patients, obese patients,<\/em> and patients with liver and\/or biliary tract disease and\/or renal failure:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The doctor can, if necessary, adjust the\u00a0dose\u00a0depending on your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your anesthetist will monitor you closely while you are being treated with Rocuronium B. Braun, so it is unlikely that you will be given too much Rocuronium B. Braun. If this happens, muscle relaxation may increase. In such cases, your anesthetist may give you medicines to relieve this effect and ensure that the anesthesia and mechanically assisted breathing continue until you breathe again by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For information intended for healthcare professionals, see the section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following side effects can be serious.
