Baclofen is most effective when used at the lowest dose possible and for the shortest time possible. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of muscle spasticity. Your doctor will decide which dosage is best for you.

Like all medicines, this medication can cause side effects. Some of the most common side effects are muscle cramps, weakness, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these side effects, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately.
Spasticity has been associated with a variety of disorders including motor and sensory problems, and the effects of drugs and alcohol on spasticity has been well documented []. The main symptom that causes spasticity is muscle spasms. In many cases, such as those described above, spasticity occurs in a variety of muscles, and thus there is a high degree of muscle spasm. In this context, it is important to consider the fact that spasticity may be a symptom of a variety of medical and surgical problems. Spasticity can be treated with medication or surgery. However, there are also many medications used to treat the condition.
The most common medications used to treat spasticity are: muscle relaxants, such as methylene blue injection or baclofen, and/or spasmolytics (medicines that relax muscles, or increase the muscle tone), such as spasmolytics or muscle relaxants, such as spasmolytics or botulinum toxin injections, or muscle relaxants (including botulinum toxin injections or botulinum toxin injections). The combination of these medications can cause spasticity in muscles that may be painful, and thus, these medications can have undesirable side effects.
Other medications have been found to have an effect on spasticity, such as anticholinergic medications and antihistamines. For example, antihistamines are used to treat allergic reactions tohistamines, such as allergies to aspirin, and to the histamine-3 receptor antagonist dantrolene []. These drugs have been found to have an effect on the nervous system [].
The main effect of the drug that has been found to have a positive effect on spasticity is its ability to increase the excitability of skeletal muscle fibers by decreasing the action potential. This may be an important property of the drugs. In a small amount of time, however, this effect is minimal.
