Baclan Tablet 10 mg (Baclofen)

Adult dose

Treatment with this drug should always be started at a low dose, which is gradually increased. The optimal dose should be individualized for each patient to reduce clonus, flexor and extensor spasticity, and spasms while avoiding adverse effects as far as possible. Use with caution to prevent excessive muscle weakness and falls when muscle tone is needed to maintain balance in an upright posture and during movement, and to preserve function. It is important to allow transient spasms that help maintain some muscle tone and support circulatory function. Take this drug with a small amount of water during meals. The daily dose should be administered orally in 3 divided doses in adults. Administer baclofen 5㎎ orally 3 times daily, and increase the dose by 5㎎ per dose, 3 times daily, at 3-day intervals until the optimal dose is established. In patients who are hypersensitive to this drug, it is advisable to start at a lower dose (5-10㎎ daily) and increase it slowly. The optimal dose is usually 30-80㎎ daily. Hospitalized patients may receive 100-120㎎ daily under close supervision.

Child dose

Pediatric patients (12 months–18 years): The daily dose is administered orally in 4 divided doses. Pediatric patients (12 months–18 years): Treatment is generally initiated at a very low dose (0.3 mg/kg/day in 2–4 divided doses). Pediatric patients (12 months–18 years): The usual daily maintenance dose is 0.75–2 mg/kg. Children under 8 years: The maximum daily dose is 40mg. Children 8 years and older: The maximum daily dose is 60mg. Pediatric patients (12 months–18 years): Increase the dose cautiously at intervals of approximately 1-2 weeks until it is appropriate for the individual patient's needs. Pediatric patients (12 months–18 years): If no clear therapeutic effect is observed within 6-8 weeks after administration of the maximum dose, reconsider whether to continue this medicine.

This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, individuals allergic to this medication or its ingredients, or those with lactose intolerance, should not take it. Patients with mental illness, epilepsy, peptic ulcers, cardiovascular diseases, liver dysfunction, or renal impairment should use this medication cautiously, and their condition should be closely monitored. Special caution is needed for children with a history of epilepsy, as there is a risk of seizures. Taking this medication may result in CNS-related side effects such as drowsiness, sedation, and dizziness, which can be alleviated by adjusting the dose. Additionally, various side effects such as liver dysfunction, digestive issues, cardiovascular anomalies, and skin rashes have been reported; therefore, if any unusual symptoms occur, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. Sudden discontinuation after long-term use can lead to serious symptoms such as anxiety, hallucinations, and seizures, so it is important to taper off gradually. During the course of this medication, one should avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery, and it is advisable to have regular liver function and blood glucose tests. Patients with renal dysfunction must be particularly careful, and those with a history of drug abuse should be carefully monitored for potential dependence. In pregnant or breastfeeding women, careful consideration should be given to the potential effects on the fetus or neonate prior to administration. Elderly patients may experience side effects more easily due to decreased body functions, so starting with a lower dose and monitoring their condition during treatment is recommended. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as CNS depression, respiratory distress, and seizures may appear, requiring immediate emergency treatment as there is no specific antidote; treatment should involve symptomatic care such as gastric lavage, activated charcoal administration, and artificial respiration. This medication may interact with other CNS depressants, alcohol, tricyclic antidepressants, and antihypertensives, potentially exacerbating side effects, so caution is advised.
