Sugmadex 100mg injection 5ml works by forming a complex with steroidal neuromuscular blocking agents, such as rocuronium and vecuronium, through its modified γ-cyclodextrin structure. This encapsulation sequesters the neuromuscular blocking agents, preventing them from binding to nicotinic cholinergic receptors at the neuromuscular junction. As a result, the free concentration of the neuromuscular blocking agents in the plasma is reduced, allowing the muscle fibers to be released from the blockade and restoring neuromuscular function rapidly and effectively.
