Product Description

🔹 Product Overview
Dantrolene Sodium Injection IP is a prescription skeletal muscle relaxant injection used in emergency and hospital settings.
Contains Dantrolene Sodium, a direct-acting muscle relaxant that works on skeletal muscle fibers.
It is primarily used for the treatment and prevention of malignant hyperthermia, a rare but life-threatening reaction to anesthesia.

🔹 Key Uses
Emergency treatment of malignant hyperthermia during surgery
Prevention of anesthesia-induced muscle rigidity and hyperthermia
Hospital management of severe muscle rigidity related to anesthesia drugs
Used only in operating rooms and critical care settings
