Pregnancy of Dantrolene in details
Dantrolene crosses the human placenta. Cord blood concentrations are similar to those in the maternal plasma at term. and Dantrolene can be detected in the newborn serum at delivery. Adverse events were not observed in the newborn following maternal doses of 100 mg/day administered orally prior to delivery (Shime 1988). Uterine atony has been reported following Dantrolene injection after delivery; however, this may be due in part to the mannitol contained in the IV preparation (Shin 1995; Weingarten 1987). Prophylactic use of Dantrolene is not routinely recommended in pregnant women susceptible to MH prior to obstetric surgery, if use is needed, close monitoring of the mother and newborn is recommended (Krause 2004; Norman 1995).
