This unique reversal agent works by encapsulating and inactivating rocuronium or vecuronium muscle relaxants that have been used during surgery, rapidly restoring a patient's ability to breathe on their own at the end of a procedure. Unlike older reversal drugs, it can reverse even deep levels of neuromuscular blockade quickly and reliably.
