The Only Generic Equivalent to Dantrium IV

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.
