Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Verapamil (Calan) is a calcium channel blocker; combining this with dantrolene (Dantrium) could lead to cardiovascular collapse. There isn't any contraindication to the use of dantrolene (Dantrium) and insulin. There isn't any contraindication to the use of dantrolene (Dantrium) and methylphenidate (Concerta). There isn't any contraindication to the use of dantrolene (Dantrium) and clarithromycin (Biaxin).
