1. What is Nimbex and how is it used
Nimbex contains an active ingredient called cisatracurium, which belongs to a group of medications known as muscle relaxants.
Nimbex is used:
- to relax muscles during surgical procedures, including cardiac surgery, in both adults and children over 1 month of age
- to facilitate the insertion of a tube into the trachea (tracheal intubation), if mechanical assistance for breathing is required
- to relax muscles in adults in Intensive Care.
2. What you need to know before starting to use Nimbex
Do not use Nimbex:
- if you are allergic to cisatracurium, any other muscle relaxant, or any of the other components of Nimbex (listed in section 6)
- if you have had an allergic reaction to an anesthetic in the past
Do not use Nimbex if you are affected by any of the above circumstances. If you are unsure, speak with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before using Nimbex.
Be especially careful with Nimbex:
Consult with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before using this medication:
- if you have muscle weakness, fatigue, or difficulty coordinating your movements (myasthenia gravis)
- if you have a neuromuscular disease that causes muscle wasting, paralysis, motor neuron disease, or cerebral palsy
- if you have had burns that required medical attention
If you are unsure whether any of the above circumstances affect you, speak with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before Nimbex is administered to you.
Use of Nimbex with other medications:
Inform your doctor if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication, including those purchased without a prescription. This includes herbal products or medications purchased without a doctor's prescription.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding:
The effect of cisatracurium on the infant cannot be ruled out; however, it is not expected to occur if breastfeeding is resumed after the effects of the substance have worn off. Cisatracurium is rapidly eliminated from the body. Women should not breastfeed for 3 hours after treatment is discontinued.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, believe you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication.
Driving and operating machinery:
If you will be in the hospital for only one day, your doctor will instruct you on how long to wait before you can drive and operate machinery. It may be hazardous to drive shortly after being operated on.
