| Description |
Baclofen is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist used as a skeletal muscle relaxant used for the relief of painful and uncomfortable muscle spasms caused by a variety of conditions. It is particularly useful in treating muscle spasticity associated with spinal cord injury.
This drug has recently been studied for the management of alcohol withdrawal, however, a conclusion has not been made regarding baclofen efficacy in this condition. [A173908,A173911,A173938]
This drug was first approved by the FDA in 1992.[F4570] |
| Indications and Usage |
Baclofen is indicated for the treatment of spasticity resulting from multiple sclerosis and is particularly useful for the relief of flexor spasms and concomitant pain, clonus, and muscular rigidity.[L39434] It may also be of value in the treatment of patients with spinal cord injuries or diseases.
Baclofen is also indicated as an intrathecal injection for the management of severe spasticity of cerebral or spinal original in patients 4 years of age and older.[L39429] Patients who respond to bolus intrathecal doses of baclofen, and who require chronic therapy, can use an implantable intrathecal pump to administer baclofen via long-term infusion. |
