Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Malignant hyper pyrexia is genetic disease.. which may or may not exhibit in your fetus.. In case one wants to ascertain it before child birth,/ after birth chromosomal analysis is the answer
The condition is triggered with the drugs used before/ neuromuscular blocking agents/ volatile anesthetic agent.
Senokot is a drastic purgative .. and is not advocated in pregnancy. You should take stool softener like cremafine instead.
Thanks..
