Re: Dantrolene Sodium

Well that was a bit of a surprise!

I'm back on the Mexitil and the hospital pharmacy assures me that they can get my prescription filled even thought the drugs company have discontinued it in this country!

Not that I'm complaining - I feel great at the moment!

Re: Mexitil in UK

Yeah! Hopefully enough people complained that they decided to bring it back. I've written and talked to the manufacturer a couple of times since they stopped distribution in the UK and told them it was the best medication for our condition they needed to make it available through a special program if necessary.

Maybe the healthcare system was able to negotiate for a generic form. Can you tell if it's the brand name made by Boehringer? The other labs now making it are Novo, Roxane and Teva.
