Malignant hyperthermia on allergy list in EHRs

Our EHR has"malignant hyperthermia" as an option in the allergy list. However, this term is not coded to the drug library, so alerts won't fire if an order for succinylcholine, for example, would be entered.
Do you have MH as a selectable term on your allergy list?
If so, is MH coded to any drugs in the drug library?
