Sugammadex Sodium

Compatible

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

It is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin that binds to rocuronium or vecuronium, reversing its neuromuscular blocking action. Used intravenously.

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breast milk.

Its high molecular weight makes it unlikely that it will pass into milk in significant amounts.

Its low oral bioavailability would make it difficult its passage to the infant’s plasma through breast milk. (EMA 2017)

Side effects are rare and mild. It is administered in single or isolated doses.
 

Sugammadex can be used during breastfeeding. (LactMed, EMA 2017)

Alternatives

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
