Baclofen 5mg Tablets
SKU GME1020Product Introduction
Baclofen 5mg is an antispasticity medicine for muscle stiffness and involuntary spasms caused by conditions affecting the brain or spinal cord, such as multiple sclerosis, spinal-cord injury or cerebral palsy. Reducing excessive muscle tone can make movement and daily care easier.
How to use
Take the tablet with or after a meal to reduce nausea. Conventional baclofen is generally divided into doses across the day, with the amount increased gradually from a low starting dose. The dosing schedule is different from an extended-release capsule.
How it works
Baclofen acts mainly at GABA-B receptors in the spinal cord, reducing excessive excitatory signals involved in muscle reflexes. This reduces spasms and abnormally increased muscle tone.
Side effects
Drowsiness, dizziness, muscle weakness, tiredness, nausea and confusion may occur. Marked difficulty staying awake, slowed breathing, seizures or severe confusion require urgent medical care.
Important information
Do not stop regular baclofen abruptly: withdrawal can cause rebound spasticity, hallucinations, fever and seizures. Kidney impairment increases the risk of accumulation and toxicity. Tell your doctor about kidney disease, epilepsy, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any opioid, sleeping medicine or sedative. Alcohol can intensify sedation and breathing suppression.
Uses
- Relief of neurological spasticity, painful muscle spasms and rigidity associated with disorders of the brain or spinal cord.
Benefits
Helps reduce excessive stiffness and spasms, which may improve comfort, positioning, dressing and physiotherapy. It treats the spasticity rather than repairing the underlying neurological injury.
Is Baclofen 5mg an anti-inflammatory painkiller?
No. It reduces nerve-driven muscle overactivity. It does not work like ibuprofen or treat joint inflammation directly, although reducing a painful spasm can relieve discomfort.
Can baclofen make walking harder despite reducing stiffness?
Sometimes. A person may rely on some muscle tone to stand or transfer, and excessive relaxation can uncover weakness. The aim is better function and comfort, not removal of all muscle tone.
Why is kidney function important with baclofen?
Much of the medicine leaves the body through the kidneys. Reduced clearance can cause toxicity at doses that another person tolerates, particularly in advanced kidney disease.
Can I drive when I start baclofen?
Drowsiness, dizziness or muscle weakness can affect safe driving, especially after the first doses or a dose increase. Avoid driving while these effects are present.
