Bacron Tablet 10 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): Treatment is generally initiated at a very low dose (0.3 mg/kg per day in 2~4 divided doses). The usual daily maintenance dose is 0.75~2mg/kg. Increase the dose cautiously at intervals of approximately 1-2 weeks until it is appropriate for the individual's needs. The total daily dose should be administered orally in 4 divided doses. Children under 8 years: The maximum daily dose is 40mg. Children aged 8 years and older (12 months~18 years): The maximum daily dose is 60mg. 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.
