Dantrolene is a muscle relaxant primarily used to treat malignant hyperthermia and muscle spasticity. It works by inhibiting calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscles, which helps to reduce excessive muscle contractions and subsequent heat production. As a result, dantrolene can effectively lower elevated body temperature associated with conditions like malignant hyperthermia, helping to stabilize the patient's temperature.

How does dehydration effect body temperature?
Yes
What is the effect of temperature on the body during sweat?
sweat lowers the temperature of the body by getting rid of excess liquid
What is the drug of choice for malignant hyperthermia?
Dantrolene Sodium
What muscle relaxant is also used to prevent hyperthermia?
Dantrolene is a muscle relaxant that appears to work to prevent the release of calcium. After the widespread introduction of treatment with dantrolene, the mortality of malignant hyperthermia fell from 80% in the 1960s to less than 5%. Azumolene has also been shown to be as effective as dantrolene.
