Your monthly Bridion cost savings if eligible

Am I eligible for the Bridion patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Bridion assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider are:

• I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
• I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
• I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Bridion patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Bridion patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Bridion.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Bridion assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Bridion patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Bridion.

What is Bridion?

Bridion is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication marketed by Merck Sharp and Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck and Company, Inc.

Bridion is used for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by the relaxants, rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide in adults undergoing surgery.

What doses of Bridion are available?

Bridion is available in a single-dose vial for bolus injection, in the following doses: 200 mg/2 mL (100 mg/mL), 500 mg/5 mL (100 mg/mL).

Bridion dosing is based on actual body weight, and the recommended dose of Bridion given does not depend on the anesthetic regimen. The dose for mild and moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≥ 30 and < 80 mL/min): is the same as for adults without renal impairment.

Monitor patients for twitch responses to determine the timing and dose for the administration of Bridion. 4 mg/kg is recommended if spontaneous recovery of the twitch response has reached 1 to 2 post-tetanic counts (PTC) and there are no twitch responses to train-of-four (TOF) stimulation. 2 mg/kg is recommended if spontaneous recovery has reached the reappearance of the second twitch in response to TOF stimulation. For rocuronium, only 16 mg/kg is recommended if there is a clinical need to reverse neuromuscular blockade soon (approximately 3 minutes) after administration of a single dose of 1.2 mg/kg of rocuronium.

Always speak with your clinician about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Bridion active ingredients

Bridion injection, for intravenous use, contains sugammadex sodium. It forms a complex with the neuromuscular blocking agents rocuronium and vecuronium and reduces the amount of neuromuscular blocking agent available to bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors. This causes a reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium and vecuronium.

Bridion side effects

The most common side effects of Bridion in clinical trials include:

• Vomiting, nausea
• Hypotension (low blood pressure)
• Pain and headache

In rare instances, Bridion can cause more serious adverse events. These can include:

• Anaphylaxis – has occurred in 0.3% of healthy volunteers
• Bradycardia (changes in heart rate) – cardiac arrest, has been observed within minutes after administration. Monitor for hemodynamic changes and administer anticholinergic agents such as atropine if bradycardia is observed
• Respiratory Function Monitoring – support to breathe is mandatory until adequate spontaneous respiration is restored and the ability for patients to maintain a patent airway is assured. If the neuromuscular blockade continues after Bridion or recurs the following extubation, take steps to provide adequate ventilation
• If re-administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent is needed after reversal with Bridion, waiting times should be based on the dose of Bridion, and the renal function of the patient

A healthcare professional will assess the benefits of using Bridion against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Bridion to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Bridion drug interactions

Bridion can interact with other medications. These include:

• Toremifene – recovery could be delayed
• Hormonal contraceptives – patients using hormonal oral contraceptives must use an additional, non-hormonal method of contraception for the next 7 days following the use of Bridion
• Physical incompatibility has been reported with verapamil, ondansetron, and ranitidine

This list is not exhaustive and other prescription drugs may interact with Bridion.

You should not use Bridion if you:

• Are allergic to the active ingredient sugammadex
• Are allergic to any of the other ingredients in Bridion
