Ryanodex (Dantrolene Sodium) Mechanism, CYP450 Pathways & DailyMed Monograph

RxCUI 856656-B42367540 • NDC 42367-540

Marketed under the trade name Ryanodex (registered by Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., RxNorm 856656-B42367540), this prescription brand-name formulation contains Dantrolene Sodium within the Skeletal Muscle Relaxant therapeutic class. Per 2024-10-29 DailyMed labeling (42367-540), clinical use centers on 250 mg/5mL Injection, Suspension; 25mg Capsule: In Chronic Spasticity Dantrolene sodium capsules are indicated in controlling the manifestations of clinical spasticity.

At the receptor and enzymatic level, Ryanodex delivers Dantrolene Sodium to execute skeletal muscle relaxant modulation with class-characteristic hepatorenal disposition. Specific to the Ryanodex commercial product (NDC 42367-540, RxCUI 856656-B42367540), tablet/vehicle compounding registered by Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. standardizes delivery across 250 mg/5mL Injection, Suspension; 25mg Capsule, contrasting $64.46 discount cash access against $170.82 walk-in retail pricing.

Following administration (250 mg/5mL Injection, Suspension), Ryanodex (Dantrolene Sodium) achieves Complete (~100%) parenteral systemic delivery for Ryanodex (Dantrolene Sodium) (250 mg/5mL Injection, Suspension) bioavailability and rapid intravascular/parenteral onset within 15–45 minutes after ryanodex (dantrolene sodium) administration onset, governed by a Steady-state plasma equilibrium reached over 6–14 hour t½ intervals for Ryanodex (Dantrolene Sodium) terminal half-life through predominantly hepatic biotransformation with renal elimination of polar ryanodex (dantrolene sodium) conjugates.

Before initiating Ryanodex (Dantrolene Sodium) at 250 mg/5mL Injection, Suspension, clinical safety checklists rule out confirmed ige-mediated allergy or cutaneous reaction to ryanodex (dantrolene sodium) (dantrolene sodium) components; uncompensated hepatic or renal insufficiency incompatible with ryanodex (dantrolene sodium) (250 mg/5ml injection, suspension) clearance. Logged tolerability patterns center on dizziness (9% of reports), fatigue (8.8% of reports), diarrhea (8.4% of reports).
