Dantrium (active ingredient: dantrolene) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Malignant Hyperthermia: Dantrium is used for the treatment of malignant hyperthermia, a life-threatening condition triggered by certain anesthetic agents and succinylcholine.
  2. Chronic Spasticity: It is indicated for the management of chronic spasticity resulting from upper motor neuron disorders such as spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, or multiple sclerosis when other treatments are not effective.

Dantrium belongs to a class of drugs known as skeletal muscle relaxants, which work by directly relaxing skeletal muscle to decrease spasticity and rigidity.

To use Dantrium capsule, follow the dosage instructions carefully as directed on the prescription label by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not take more or less of the medication or take it more frequently than prescribed. Dantrium has potential for liver damage, so it should be used only in conjunction with appropriate monitoring of liver function.

The recommended dosage of Dantrium tablets can vary depending on the medical condition being treated.

  • For muscle spasticity, the lowest effective dose is typically 25 mg taken orally once a day for seven days. The dosage is then increased gradually to 25 mg taken orally three times a day for seven days, and then to 50 mg taken orally three times a day for seven days. The maximum dose for spasticity is typically 100 mg taken orally three times a day.
  • For malignant hyperthermia, the dosage is weight-based and is determined by a physician. It is usually given three to four times a day, starting 1 or 2 days before surgery. The usual adult dosage is 2.5 mg/kg of body weight administered intravenously. The dose may be repeated every 5 to 10 minutes until the symptoms of malignant hyperthermia are controlled. After a malignant hyperthermia crisis, it is typically given in four divided doses for 1 to 3 days.
