    Sugammadex and Oral Contraceptives: Is It Time for a Revision of the Anesthesia Informed Consent?

    The authors suggest a possible revision of anaesthesia consent, such as:

    "You may receive medications during your anesthetic that could interfere with the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. If you are using oral contraceptives, consider alternative methods of birth control for 7 days following your anesthetic." This disclosure would cover potential interactions with sugammadex, antibiotics, and other medications.
