Dantrolene sodium, sold under the brand name Dantrium among others, is a postsynaptic muscle relaxant that lessens excitation-contraction coupling in muscle cells. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] It achieves this by inhibiting Ca 2+ ions release from sarcoplasmic reticulum stores by antagonizing ryanodine receptors . [ 8 ]
No drug has been shown to be better than another, and all of them have adverse effects, particularly dizziness and drowsiness. [14] [16] Concerns about possible abuse and interaction with other drugs, especially if increased sedation is a risk, further limit their use. [14]
This category contains those articles about the side effects of medications. Some side effects are not adverse. For example, the anti-depressant Welbutrin helps some to quit smoking. Other beneficial side effects of medications can be weight loss. A side effect of insulin is that it removes potassium ions from the blood stream and into cells.

Type A: augmented pharmacological effects, which are dose-dependent and predictable [5]; Type A reactions, which constitute approximately 80% of adverse drug reactions, are usually a consequence of the drug's primary pharmacological effect (e.g., bleeding when using the anticoagulant warfarin) or a low therapeutic index of the drug (e.g., nausea from digoxin), and they are therefore predictable.
Like other medications for the treatment of (ED), Cialis — and its generic version, tadalafil — can cause adverse effects at first. Fortunately, most tadalafil side effects are mild and ...
Succinylcholine is a widely used muscle relaxant drug which acts by activating, instead of blocking, the ACh receptor. The potassium channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA) has been shown to reverse the effects of tubocurarine. It is thought to do so by increasing ACh release, which counteracts the antagonistic effects of tubocurarine on the ...
