SIZE: 300ML BOTTLE
This is a liquid formulation of Baclofen, a skeletal muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It works by acting on the spinal cord and brain to inhibit the nerve signals that cause muscles to tighten or spasm. Because it is a sugar-free oral suspension, it is ideal for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets or those who require precise dose adjustments that are not possible with solid pills.
This 300ml bottle is used for the management of chronic muscle spasticity caused by various neurological conditions. It is primarily indicated for:
Neurological Disorders: Relieving muscle stiffness and spasms in conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or spinal cord diseases/injuries.
Pediatric Spasticity: Frequently used in children with Cerebral Palsy to improve range of motion and ease of care.
Stroke & Brain Injury: Managing involuntary muscle contractions following a traumatic brain injury or stroke.
Baclofen (5mg per 5ml): Each 1ml of liquid contains 1mg of the active medicine, allowing for highly accurate dosing (e.g., a 2mg dose would be exactly 2ml of liquid).
Standard Dose: Dosing is highly individualized. It usually begins with a very low dose (e.g., 2.5ml to 5ml three times daily) and is gradually increased by a specialist.
Measurement: Use a marked oral syringe or medicine spoon to measure the exact volume. Do not use a standard kitchen teaspoon.
The "No-Cold-Turkey" Rule: CRITICAL: Never stop taking Baclofen suddenly. Abrupt withdrawal can cause serious reactions, including hallucinations, high fever, and seizures. Always taper the dose under professional guidance.
Shake Well: Always shake the bottle thoroughly before each use to ensure the medicine is evenly distributed in the liquid.
With Food: Administering the dose during or immediately after a meal can help reduce the risk of nausea or stomach upset.
Sugar-Free Benefit: This formulation is safe for diabetic patients and is gentler on dental health, which is important for patients on long-term therapy.
Drowsiness: This medication often causes sleepiness or dizziness, especially when starting or increasing a dose. Monitor the patient closely for safety during movement.
Alcohol: Avoid alcohol completely, as it dangerousy increases the sedative effects of Baclofen.
Kidney Function: Baclofen is cleared by the kidneys. Ensure your healthcare provider is aware of any history of kidney impairment.
Storage: Store the bottle at room temperature (below 25°C) and keep it tightly closed. Check the label for the "discard after" date once the bottle is opened.
Indicated For: Adults and children with chronic spasticity who prefer a liquid format or require specialized dosing. It is a preferred choice for patients with feeding tubes (NG or PEG tubes).
Q: Can this be used for a temporary back pull?
A: No. Baclofen is specifically for spasticity related to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It is not indicated for general muscle strains or orthopedic injuries.
Q: How long will this 300ml bottle last?
A: This depends on the dose. For example, if the dose is 5ml (5mg) three times daily, the bottle will last exactly 20 days.
Q: Can I mix it with juice?
A: It is generally best taken as is. If the taste is an issue for a child, consult our pharmacist about the best way to administer it without affecting absorption.
