Dantrium


Pronunciation: DAN-troe-leen
Generic Name: Dantrolene
Brand Name: Dantrium


Dantrium is used for:

Treating episodes of severe high body temperature (malignant hyperthermia). It is also used to prevent or reduce the risk of severe high body temperature in certain patients before or after surgery or anesthesia. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Dantrium is a muscle relaxant. It works by restoring a healthy level of calcium in the muscles, which helps to prevent or reduce severe high body temperature.


Do NOT use Dantrium if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Dantrium

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Dantrium:


Some medical conditions may interact with Dantrium. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have heart problems, lung problems, (eg, obstructive pulmonary disease), or liver problems

  • if you are older than 35 years of age

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Dantrium. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Verapamil because the risk of side effects, such as heart problems, may be increased

  • Estrogen because the risk of liver problems may be increased

  • Neuromuscular blockers (eg, vecuronium) because the actions and side effects may be increased by Dantrium

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Dantrium may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Dantrium:


Use Dantrium as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Dantrium is usually administered as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you are using Dantrium at home, carefully follow the injection procedures taught to you by your health care provider.

  • If Dantrium contains particles or is discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged in any way, do not use it.

  • Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Dispose of properly after use. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain local regulations for proper disposal.

  • If you miss a dose of Dantrium, contact your doctor or health care provider immediately.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Dantrium.



Important safety information:


  • Dantrium may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or lightheadedness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Dantrium. Using Dantrium alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or to perform other potentially dangerous tasks.

  • Avoid drinking alcohol or taking other medications that cause drowsiness (eg, sedatives, tranquilizers) while taking Dantrium. Dantrium will add to the effects of alcohol and other depressants. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines are depressants.

  • To reduce the risk of choking, be sure to chew food thoroughly and swallow small amounts of food on days when Dantrium is administered.

  • LAB TESTS, including pulse and blood pressure, may be performed to monitor your progress or to check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Dantrium during pregnancy. Dantrium is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Dantrium.


Possible side effects of Dantrium:


All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Decreased grip strength; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; general body discomfort; lightheadedness; muscle weakness; nausea; pain or redness at injection site; unusual tiredness; weakness.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); blood vessel inflammation; chest pain; dark urine; difficulty swallowing; inflammation at the injection site; severe stomach or abdominal pain; shallow breathing; unusual tiredness; yellowing of skin or eyes.



This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.

Proper storage of Dantrium:

Dantrium is usually handled and stored by a health care provider. If you are using Dantrium at home, store Dantrium as directed by your pharmacist or health care provider. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Use within 6 hours. Keep Dantrium out of the reach of children and away from pets.


General information:


  • If you have any questions about Dantrium, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.

  • Dantrium is to be used only by the patient for whom it is prescribed. Do not share it with other people.

  • If your symptoms do not improve or if they become worse, check with your doctor.

What are OB Complete (prenatal multivitamins)?

There are many brands and forms of prenatal vitamin available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Prenatal vitamins are a combination of many different vitamins that are normally found in foods and other natural sources.


Prenatal vitamins are used to provide the additional vitamins needed during pregnancy. Minerals may also be contained in prenatal multivitamins.


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


What is the most important information I should know about prenatal vitamins?


There are many brands and forms of prenatal vitamin available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Never take more than the recommended dose of a multivitamin. Avoid taking any other multivitamin product within 2 hours before or after you take your prenatal vitamins. Taking similar vitamin products together at the same time can result in a vitamin overdose or serious side effects.

Many multivitamin products also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Minerals (especially taken in large doses) can cause side effects such as tooth staining, increased urination, stomach bleeding, uneven heart rate, confusion, and muscle weakness or limp feeling. Read the label of any multivitamin product you take to make sure you are aware of what it contains.


Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of vitamins A, D, E, or K can cause serious or life-threatening side effects and can also harm your unborn baby. Certain minerals contained in a prenatal multivitamin may also cause serious overdose symptoms or harm to the baby if you take too much.

Overdose symptoms may include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, hair loss, peeling skin, tingly feeling in or around your mouth, changes in menstrual periods, weight loss, severe headache, muscle or joint pain, severe back pain, blood in your urine, pale skin, and easy bruising or bleeding.


Do not take this medication with milk, other dairy products, calcium supplements, or antacids that contain calcium. Calcium may make it harder for your body to absorb certain ingredients of the multivitamin.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking prenatal vitamins?


Many vitamins can cause serious or life-threatening side effects if taken in large doses. Do not take more of this medication than directed on the label or prescribed by your doctor.

Before taking prenatal vitamins, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions.


You may need to continue taking prenatal vitamins if you breast-feed your baby. Ask your doctor about taking this medication while breast-feeding.

How should I take prenatal vitamins?


Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.


Never take more than the recommended dose of prenatal vitamins.

Many multivitamin products also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Minerals (especially taken in large doses) can cause side effects such as tooth staining, increased urination, stomach bleeding, uneven heart rate, confusion, and muscle weakness or limp feeling. Read the label of any multivitamin product you take to make sure you are aware of what it contains.


Take your prenatal vitamin with a full glass of water.

Swallow the regular tablet or capsule whole. Do not break, chew, crush, or open it.


The chewable tablet must be chewed or allowed to dissolve in your mouth before swallowing. You may also allow the chewable tablet to dissolve in drinking water, fruit juice, or infant formula (but not milk or other dairy products). Drink this mixture right away.


Use prenatal vitamins regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.


Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep prenatal vitamins in their original container. Storing vitamins in a glass container can ruin the medication.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of vitamins A, D, E, or K can cause serious or life-threatening side effects and can also harm your unborn baby. Certain minerals contained in a prenatal multivitamin may also cause serious overdose symptoms or harm to the baby if you take too much.

Overdose symptoms may include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, hair loss, peeling skin, tingly feeling in or around your mouth, changes in menstrual periods, weight loss, severe headache, muscle or joint pain, severe back pain, blood in your urine, pale skin, and easy bruising or bleeding.


What should I avoid while taking prenatal vitamins?


Avoid taking any other multivitamin product within 2 hours before or after you take your prenatal vitamins. Taking similar vitamin products together at the same time can result in a vitamin overdose or serious side effects.

Avoid the regular use of salt substitutes in your diet if your multivitamin contains potassium. If you are on a low-salt diet, ask your doctor before taking a vitamin or mineral supplement.


Do not take this medication with milk, other dairy products, calcium supplements, or antacids that contain calcium. Calcium may make it harder for your body to absorb certain ingredients of the prenatal vitamin.

Prenatal vitamins side effects

What other drugs will affect prenatal vitamins?

  • diuretics (water pills);




  • heart or blood pressure medications;




  • tretinoin (Vesanoid);




  • isotretinoin (Accutane, Amnesteen, Clavaris, Sotret);
