Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Baclofen 20 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid is a specially formulated medication designed for oral administration. This liquid formulation provides a convenient and easily ingested dosage form, ensuring accurate delivery of medication. It is particularly beneficial for patients who find swallowing solid dosage forms challenging, such as children and the elderly.

Baclofen is a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent. It is used to treat muscle symptoms caused by multiple sclerosis, including spasm, pain, and stiffness. It works by helping to relax the muscles, which can significantly improve the patient's ability to move around, and reduce pain and discomfort.

It's important to note that Baclofen should be used exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed, as your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects could increase.

Side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, tiredness, and trouble sleeping. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.

For prescribers, it's crucial to monitor the patient's response to the medication and adjust the dosage accordingly. Regular follow-ups are recommended to assess the patient's progress and to manage any potential side effects. It's also important to educate patients about the potential side effects and what to do if they experience them.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It is used to treat muscle symptoms caused by multiple sclerosis, including spasm, pain, and stiffness. It works by helping to relax the muscles.

It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you're currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Baclofen may interact with other central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, antihistamines, sedatives, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, narcotics, or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. This interaction could lead to an increased risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment.

Combining Baclofen with antidiabetic agents may increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). If you're taking antidiabetic medications, your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dose to prevent this interaction.

Patients taking Baclofen with antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications) may experience an additive effect leading to potentially severe low blood pressure. It's important to monitor blood pressure regularly if you're taking these medications together.

Using Baclofen with MAO inhibitors (a type of antidepressant) can increase the effect of Baclofen, potentially leading to severe side effects. It's generally recommended to avoid this combination or use it only under special circumstances.

It's also important to note that abruptly stopping Baclofen, especially if you've been taking high doses for a long time, can lead to withdrawal symptoms. These can include hallucinations and seizures. Your healthcare provider will likely decrease your dose gradually to prevent these symptoms.

This is not a complete list of all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.

If you have any questions about the potential interactions of Baclofen or any other medications, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to help ensure your safety and the effectiveness of your treatment.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
