Jeremy has painful muscle spasms associated with rheumatoid arthritis. He knows that his friend Tanya, who has multiple sclerosis, has experienced relief from her muscle spasms with dantrolene. Is dantrolene also appropriate for Jeremy?
No. Dantrolene is not indicated for muscle spasms associated with rheumatic conditions.
Yes. It is very likely Jeremy will have a good effect from dantrolene.
Dantrolene should only be used as a last choice medication when other agents have failed.
Dantrolene should also be used if the spasms are severe.
Answer: No. Dantrolene is not indicated for muscle spasms associated with rheumatic conditions.
