What Is The Cost Of Dantrolene?

The cost of maintaining dantrolene in stock is a tiny fraction of most facility budgets and a very small price to pay for patient safety. By analogy, a cardiac defibrillator, a necessary emergency tool in all OR suites, is seldom used, and is paid for in time by each patient’s charges. In fact, many hospitals have 30-50 such units deployed at all times. Dantrolene, an emergency drug that is kept in only one location within most institutions, is an appropriate parallel to that situation and is relatively inexpensive when prorated.

*Contact manufacturer for current pricing. Although fulminant MH episodes are unusual, they do happen, and patients still die form MH. Remember that dantrolene is like a defibrillator; it is kept ready for use at all times, even though the need is rare. The cost can be prorated among all patients.
