A member asked:
If i have malignant hyperthermia , is there any sedatives i need to avoid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with MD: Malignant hyperthermia is a rare disease that has been only described in patients who received either a muscle relaxant or inhalational agents such as sevoflourane. The website www.Mhaus.Org is dedicated to diagnosis and treatment of mh. Sedatives are not known to trigger mh. As far as overall safety of sedative , the physician writing the prescription can make that determination.
