Post by: yogenbhatt1 on October 22, 2008, 01:51:45 AM
Any news on the new molecule SUGAMADEX?
Has been heard of as hanging on the horison for a very long time. Was to be launched in UK last month? Has any one recd it and actually used it?

This drug is in clinical use in Europe
But there are some problems.
The intially recommended dose is not effective and the current dosage recommendations are much higher that what they used to be.
Also some hypotension and arrythmias is causing concerns.
If you want the details I will provide the link in my next reply

still waiting for the link. The corrupted FDA has stopped the entry to US...I used it in training, I had no problems with high doses, no adverse fx. Definitely safer than Neostigmine/Glycopyrolate combination.

Cheers,
