Baclon Tablet 5 mg (Baclofen)

Adult dose

Treatment with this drug should always be initiated at a low dose and increased gradually. The optimal dose should be determined individually for each patient at a level that reduces clonic convulsions, flexor and extensor rigidity, and spasms while avoiding adverse effects as much as possible. To prevent excessive muscle weakness and falls, use with caution when muscle tone is needed to maintain upright posture and balance during movement, as well as to maintain function. It is important to allow transient spasms that help maintain some muscle tone and support circulatory function. Administer this drug with a small amount of water during meals. The total daily dose should be administered orally in 3 divided doses in adults. ○ Adults 1. Administer baclofen 5㎎ per dose 3 times daily by mouth, and increase by 5㎎ per dose 3 times daily at 3-day intervals until the optimal dose is determined. 2. In patients with hypersensitivity to this drug, it is advisable to start with a lower dose (5-10㎎ per day) and increase it slowly. 3. The optimal dose is usually 30-80㎎ per day. Hospitalized patients may receive 100-120㎎ per day under close supervision.

Child dose

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

This medication should not be used by patients with specific allergic reactions or genetic lactose intolerance. Patients with mental disorders, epilepsy, peptic ulcers, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases should use this medication very cautiously and monitor their condition closely. During the use of this drug, side effects such as sedation, drowsiness, and dizziness may occur, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients with weakened liver or kidney function may require dosage adjustment, and sudden discontinuation after long-term use can lead to various severe side effects, so it should be tapered gradually. Concomitant use with other central nervous system-affecting drugs or alcohol may exacerbate side effects. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a physician before taking this medication and consider its effects on the fetus or newborn. Older adults may have reduced physical function, so they should start with a lower dose and monitor their condition closely. In case of overdose, severe symptoms such as central nervous system depression, respiratory distress, and abnormal blood pressure may occur, necessitating immediate emergency care and treatment as directed by medical personnel.
