Dantrolene
A muscle relaxant that acts directly on skeletal muscle by inhibiting calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, used to treat malignant hyperthermia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and chronic spasticity. It is the only drug effective for the life-threatening muscle rigidity of malignant hyperthermia.
