Lioresal DS (generically known as Baclofen) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant commonly prescribed to manage severe spasticity (muscle stiffness and tightness) from cerebral or spinal origin in adult and pediatric patients. It belongs to two groups of medications known as muscle relaxants and antispastics. It works by relaxing the muscles.
Baclofen is also used to treat pain and certain types of spasticity from multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other spinal cord diseases. It is available in various forms such as tablets and injections by prescription only.
Baclofen comes as a tablet to take by mouth usually is taken 3 times a day at evenly spaced intervals. It should be taken orally with or without food as directed by a healthcare provider. Tablets are usually meant to be swallowed whole with water as the medication may have a bitter taste or may irritate the mouth and throat if chewed.
The dosage and frequency of the medication will depend on the individual patient and their medical condition, as determined by their healthcare provider. The usual starting dose for adults is 10 mg (half a tablet), taken three times a day, and the medication may be gradually increased as needed. The maximum recommended dose of Lioresal DS is 20mg taken four times a day. Treatment should be initiated with a low dose, which may be gradually increased over a period of several days or weeks.
Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
