Description

Indications

Baclofen is a medication utilized for alleviating pain and addressing specific types of spasticity, characterized by muscle stiffness and tightness, which may arise from conditions like multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other spinal cord diseases. Classified as a skeletal muscle relaxant, baclofen exerts its effects on the nerves within the spinal cord, effectively reducing the frequency and intensity of muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord conditions.

Uses and Dosage

Baclofen is available in tablet and liquid form, designed for oral administration. The recommended dosing schedule involves taking it three times a day at regular intervals.

Comply with the prescribed dosage precisely and refrain from increasing or decreasing it or altering the frequency beyond your doctor’s instructions.

When using the baclofen solution, employ an oral syringe to accurately measure and administer the prescribed dose. If an oral syringe is not provided with your medication, consult your pharmacist to obtain one.

Continue taking baclofen even if you start feeling better. Discontinuing the medication abruptly, particularly after prolonged use of high doses, can lead to adverse effects such as seizures, fever, confusion, muscle stiffness, or hallucinations. Before ceasing baclofen, consult your doctor, who will likely recommend a gradual tapering of the dosage.

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention:

  • dizziness
  • weakness
  • confusion
  • headache
  • nausea
  • constipation
  • difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
  • tiredness
  • frequent urination

Inform your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any serious side effects:

  • seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist
  • seizures

Caution

Before initiating the use of this medication, disclose your medical history to your doctor or pharmacist, with particular attention to conditions like kidney disease, mental or mood disorders, and brain disorders.

This drug may induce dizziness or drowsiness. Combining it with alcohol or marijuana can intensify these effects. Engaging in activities that demand alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, should be avoided until you can do so safely.

Older adults may exhibit heightened sensitivity to the drug’s side effects, especially regarding drowsiness and mental or mood changes, such as confusion.

During pregnancy, the use of this medication should only occur when absolutely necessary. Have a thorough discussion with your doctor about the potential risks and benefits. In rare cases, babies born to mothers who have used this drug during pregnancy may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as tremors or seizures. If you observe any of these symptoms in your newborn, promptly inform the doctor.
