Overview
Rocuronium bromide injection is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, isotonic solution for intravenous injection used as an adjunct to general anesthesia to facilitate tracheal intubation and provide skeletal muscle relaxation.
Uses
Adjunct to general anesthesia to facilitate both rapid sequence and routine tracheal intubation, and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.
Dosage
Initial dose of 0.6 mg/kg for tracheal intubation. For rapid sequence intubation, 0.6-1.2 mg/kg. Maintenance doses and continuous infusion protocols available with detailed dosing tables.
Side Effects

Interactions
Interactions with antibiotics, anticonvulsants, inhalation anesthetics, lithium, local anesthetics, magnesium, procainamide, and quinidine.
Warnings
Risk of anaphylaxis. Potential for medication errors with other neuromuscular blocking agents. Need for adequate anesthesia. Residual paralysis risk. Incompatible with alkaline solutions. Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to rocuronium bromide or other neuromuscular blocking agents.
Pregnancy
Animal studies showed no teratogenicity. Should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.
