Daewoo Baclofen Tablet 10 mg

Adult dose

Treatment with this product should always be started at a low dose and increased gradually. The optimal dose should be determined individually for each patient as the dose 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 balance in an upright posture and during movement, as well as to preserve function. It is important to allow transient spasms that help maintain some muscle tone and support circulatory function. Take this product with meals and a small amount of water. In adults, the daily dose should be administered orally in 3 divided doses. Administer baclofen 5㎎ per dose orally 3 times daily, and increase by 5㎎ per dose, 3 times daily, at 3-day intervals until the optimal dose is established. For patients with hypersensitivity to this product, it is advisable to start at a lower dose (5-10㎎ per day) and increase slowly. 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 to 18 years): Treatment is generally started at a very low dose (0.3 mg/kg per day in 2~4 divided doses). Children (12 months to 18 years): The usual maintenance daily dose is 0.75~2mg/kg. Children under 8 years: The maximum daily dose is 40mg Children aged 8 years and older: The maximum daily dose is 60mg Children (12 months to 18 years): Increase the dose cautiously at intervals of approximately 1-2 weeks until it meets the individual patient's requirements.
