What is Nimbex?

Nimbex is used to relax the muscles to help keep your body still during surgery. This medicine also relaxes your throat so a breathing tube can be more easily inserted before the surgery.

Nimbex may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

To make sure Nimbex is safe for you, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions.

How should I use Nimbex

Nimbex is given as an infusion into a vein. A healthcare provider will give you this injection in preparation for surgery.

Your breathing, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and other vital signs will be watched closely.

What should I avoid while using Nimbex?

Follow your doctor's instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity.
