Description

Dantrolene is a drug which was approved by FDA for the treatment of chronic spasticity and malignant hyperthermia (a rare life-threatening clinical syndrome). Dantrolene effect was shown both in vivo and in vitro and proved to be mediated by interaction with Ryanodine receptor 1. The drug has a potential for hepatotoxicity and should be used as indicated in the label.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
For Use in Chronic Spasticity: 25 mg once daily for seven days, then 25 mg t.i.d. for seven days, 50 mg t.i.d. for seven days, 100 mg t.i.d. (adults). For Malignant Hyperthermia: administer 4 to 8 mg/kg/day of oral drug in 3 or 4 divided doses for one or two days prior to surgery, with the last dose being given approximately 3 to 4 hours before scheduled surgery with a minimum of water.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Whole skeletal muscle fascicles were incubated with dantrolene at concentrations of 5, 15 and 25 uM. Dantrolene inhibited twitch tensions of skeletal muscle fascicles, probably by indirectly preventing the release of calcium from the SR.
