Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Annette, Sorry my reply took so long, I had computer problems last night. About baclofen, I will give you a couple quotes from Clinic Pharmacology 2000. "Baclofen is a muscle relaxant used to relieve spasticity, and improve mobility....." "Baclofen works at the level of the spinal cord to block polysynaptic afferent (sensory nerves) pathways...." ....baclofen rapidly and almost completely absorbed. Peak blood levels are achieved in 2-3 hours. Protein binding of Baclofen is low...(not likely to stay in the body long. It may take days of treatment before you see the full effects of baclofen. One should not stop taking bacloven all at once because of unwanted side effects, "most patients are maintained satisfactorily in the range of 300-800 ug daily". As you can see, your doctor needs to reread his information on bacloven. I hope this helps you have a better understanding about the use of bacloven, If you need more information, I will be glad to provide it. God Bless, Jim Stark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
