The Only Generic Equivalent to Dantrium IV
An economical choice for the management of MH from US WorldMeds.
Dantrolene sodium for injection in its branded form, Dantrium IV, has been a staple on crash carts for years, standing ready to help save a patient's life should an event of malignant hyperthermia (MH) occur. But it's just as likely to expire before an emergency requiring its use arises. At about $88 a vial, that translates into a significant amount of lost dollars for facilities. Now there's a generic choice that works every bit as well, says US WorldMeds, at a price that's much more appealing. Dantrolene sodium for injection costs about 20 percent less than Dantrium IV. The agent is indicated for patients of all ages for use pre-operatively and sometimes post-operatively to prevent or attune signs of MH in those who seem to be at risk. The exact price depends on a facility's contract with its GPO. For more information, call (502) 893-3235, visit www.usworldmeds.com or circle 167 on your Reader Service Card.
