Why is Dantrium prescribed?

Dantrium (Dantrolene) is commonly prescribed for muscle spasticity, including muscle spasms caused by conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis. It may also be used to prevent or reduce extremely high body temperature (malignant hyperthermia) in certain individuals.

What does it do?

Dantrium works by relaxing the muscles and helping to reduce muscle spasms in individuals with muscle spasticity.

How should I take it?

Dantrolene can be taken with or without food, and either on a full or empty stomach. The usual dose is 25mg once a day and may increase based on your condition. However, if your doctor provides specific instructions on how to take the medication, follow their directions exactly.

What if I missed a dose?

Do not take two doses to make up for a missed dose. Take the prescribed number of capsules at your next scheduled dose. If you're unsure what to do, consult your doctor.

What are the special precautions before taking Dantrium?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history.

Be sure to specifically mention any of the following:

• Breathing or lung problems
• Heart issues
• Liver problems

Dantrolene may increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight, sunlamps, and tanning beds, a condition known as photosensitivity. Exposure to these light sources can lead to severe sunburns, blisters, and swelling. If you need to be outdoors, protect your skin by wearing sunscreen, or a clothing that covers your skin.

Individuals aged 65 and older may be at a higher risk for certain side effects. Discuss your potential risks with your healthcare provider if you fall into this age group.

Does it have any side effects?

Serious side effects may include:
• Severe Allergic Reactions: Dantrolene may cause allergic reactions, which can be serious. If this happens, stop taking dantrolene and seek immediate medical help.

• Drowsiness and Dizziness: Dantrolene may affect your alertness and coordination, causing dizziness and drowsiness.
There may be other side effects of dantrolene that are not mentioned here. If you suspect you are experiencing a side effect from the medication, contact your healthcare provider.
Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Always inform your healthcare provider about any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications, you are taking.

Specifically, discuss if you are using any of the following before taking dantrolene:

• Calcium channel blockers, such as verapamil, used for high blood pressure and other conditions
• Estrogen-containing products, such as certain birth control pills or estrogen patches, creams, rings, or vaginal suppositories
• Muscle relaxants, such as carisoprodol (Soma), or Tizanidine (Zanaflex)
• Any medications that cause dizziness or drowsiness, such as sleep aids, prescription painkillers, and anxiety medications
This may not be a complete list of medications that can interact with dantrolene. Always consult your healthcare provider for more information.
How should I store it?

What action should I take in case of overdose?
If you or someone else has taken too much Dantrolene, seek medical assistance immediately.
