Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Dosage depends heavily on your individual needs and condition. Typical starting doses range from 15-30mg daily, gradually increasing as needed and tolerated.
Baclofen is typically taken orally, usually in divided doses throughout the day. This helps maintain consistent blood levels and minimizes side effects. Avoid crushing or chewing tablets; swallow them whole with water.

Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea. These usually lessen with continued use but report any concerning side effects to your doctor immediately. Gradual increases in dosage help mitigate these issues.
Alcohol and other central nervous system depressants can interact negatively with Baclofen, increasing the risk of drowsiness and respiratory problems. Avoid combining them. Similarly, inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking.
Regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor your response to Baclofen. Your doctor will adjust your dosage based on your progress and potential side effects. Open communication with your physician is key for optimal treatment.
