Is dantrolene efficient for sphincter contraction that won`t let stool pass after malignant hyperthermia .diazepam is not working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Malignant hypertherm: Dantrolene is a treatment for MH that should not be needed for long-term therapy. If you are having post attack muscle spasm, a muscle relaxant like robaxin (methocarbamol) may be more helpful, but perhaps you need to be on Danteokene longer until symptoms subside. Your pain specialist or anaesthesiologist should be able to help with that
