Patient/caregiver was educated on how to take Ryanodex as follows: Ryanodex is prescribed as a suspension that is administered as a shot into the vein. Ryanodex is administered over a span of at least one minute, as an intravenous push through an IV catheter. Take the shot at the same time, every day, to avoid forgetting the medication. Taking the medication at regularly spaced intervals helps to maintain appropriate blood levels of ryanodex needed to [...]
Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses of Ryanodex as follows: Cerebral palsy Cerebral palsy is a congenital disorder of movement and muscle tone, secondary to abnormal brain development in utero. Individuals with cerebral palsy can present with abnormal muscle tone and spasticity. Muscle spasticity can lead to contractures, rigidity, stiffness, and limited range of motion contributing to significant pain, and discomfort. Ryanodex intake in these individuals can help relieve the spasticity and tightness, relax the [...]
Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses of Ryanodex as follows: Brain and spinal cord injury Individuals with brain and spinal cord damage from mechanical injuries, work injuries, and automobile accidents, present with intense muscle tightness and spasticity. Muscle spasticity can lead to contractures, rigidity, stiffness, and limited range of motion contributing to severe limitation of performance on activities of daily living, significant pain, and discomfort. Ryanodex intake in these individuals can help relieve the spasticity [...]
Patient/caregiver was instructed upon mechanism of action of Ryanodex as follows: Nerve impulses travel from the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) along the nerves to the muscles. Upon conduction of the impulse to the muscles, calcium ion is released from the storage sites inside the muscle. This release of calcium helps the contractile units of muscle fibers to slide against one another, resulting in muscle contraction. Thus, calcium plays a significant role in [...]
Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking remular as follows: Remular only helps with relieving muscle spasms, probably by depressing the brain and inhibiting the conduction of nerve impulses from the brain to the skeletal muscles. Remular only temporarily relieves the spasms but does not fix the actual condition causing the muscle spasms and so, is not a permanent cure. Continue taking remular as ordered, even if you experience relief from muscle [...]
