Oral Dantrolene for Myopathic Symptoms in Malignant Hyperthermia-Susceptible Patients: A 25-Year Retrospective Cohort Study of Adverse Effects and Tolerability.

We found that oral dantrolene produced no serious adverse effects within the reported dose range, and was well tolerated by most MH-susceptible patients presenting myopathic symptoms. Our study provides dosing and adverse effect data as a basis for further randomized controlled clinical trials to determine the efficacy of oral dantrolene for symptomatic relief in MHS-related myopathies.
