NANOSUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY FOR RAPID RECONSTITUTIONAND ADMINISTRATION1,4
- Advanced nanosuspension technology is combined with a lyophilized formulation that allows RYANODEX® to be reconstituted with sterile water for injection and administered in significantly less time compared with other formulations of dantrolene sodium1,4
- Simplified and rapid reconstitution to prepare a single vial within 10 seconds1,4
- Time to administer 2.5 mg/kg loading dose of RYANODEX® for a 100 kg patient is 1 minute compared to >22 minutes for other approved formulations1,4*
*Based on administration speed of 50 mL/min (16.5 mg/min).1
FEWER VIALS AND LESS STERILE WATER FOR INJECTION
- RYANODEX® requires fewer vials (depending on the patient) and less sterile water for injection volume compared to other dantrolene formulations5-7
- One vial of RYANODEX® contains the same amount of dantrolene sodium as 12.5 vials of other approved formulations5-7
- Each vial of RYANODEX® contains 250 mg of dantrolene sodium and requires reconstitution with only 5 mL of sterile water for injection vs 60 mL per vial with other formulations1,5-7
RAPID RESPONSE THAT CAN HELP MITIGATE RISK OFCOMPLICATIONS1
- Treating patients with dantrolene sodium quickly is essential to help minimize or avoid serious complications including coma, cardiac arrest, and disseminated intravascular coagulation2,4
