Sugammadex Sodium
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.
Side effects are rare and mild.
It is administered in single or isolated doses.
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).
Sugammadex can be used during breastfeeding (EMA 2017)
