How to Use
How to use Baclofen 5mg/5ml Liquid SF
Always take Baclofen exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Your doctor will tell you how much Baclofen to take and when to take it. Always follow his/her instructions carefully. The dose will be on the pharmacist’s label. Check the label carefully. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
The doctor will tell you the best time to take the medicine. Some people take it only at night or before doing a task such as washing, dressing, shaving, etc.
The final dose of Baclofen depends on how each person responds to the drug. You will be started on a low dose, and this will be increased gradually over a few days, under the supervision of the doctor, until you are having the dose which is right for you. If the starting dose is too high, or if the dose is increased too quickly, you may experience side effects, particularly if you are elderly, have kidney problems or have had a stroke.
If you feel sick after taking Baclofen, you may find it helps to take it with food or a milk drink.
The recommended dose is:
Adults
- The usual dose is 10 ml (20 mg) three times a day.
- The maximum daily dose is 50 ml (100 mg) except if you are in hospital when a higher dose may be used.
Children (0 to < 18 years)
Children’s treatment is adjusted to their body weight. Children’s treatment usually starts with a very low dose (approximately 0.3 mg per kg body weight per day), in 2-4 divided doses (preferably in 4 doses). The dosage is then gradually increased until it becomes sufficient for the child’s individual requirements, this may be between 0.75 mg and 2 mg per kg body weight per day. The total daily dose should not exceed a maximum of 20 ml (40 mg) per day in children below 8 years of age. In children over 8 years of age a maximum daily dose of 30 ml (60 mg) per day may be given.
In children under 8 years of age, or for individual doses less than 5 ml (10 mg), your doctor is likely to prescribe Baclofen 5mg/5ml Oral Solution.
Patients with kidney problems
You will probably be given a much lower dose. The doctor will decide what the dose should be.
Route and method of administration
- this medicinal product must be taken orally
- take this medicine with plenty of water, with or immediately after a meal to prevent upset stomach
- take this medicine regularly as advised by your doctor to obtain the maximum benefit
- use the measuring syringe provided in the pack to deliver the required dose.
Instructions for the use of syringe:
a) Open the bottle: press the cap and turn it anticlockwise (figure 1). Separate the adaptor from the syringe (figure 2).
b) Insert the adaptor into the bottle neck (figure 3). Ensure it is properly fixed. Take the syringe and put it in the adaptor opening (figure 4).
c) Turn the bottle upside down. Fill the syringe with a small amount of solution by pulling the piston down (figure 5A), then push the piston upwards in order to remove any possible bubble (figure 5B). Pull the piston down to the graduation mark corresponding to the quantity in milliliters (ml) prescribed by your doctor (figure 5C).
d) Turn the bottle the right way up (figure 6A). Remove the syringe from the adaptor (figure 6B).
e) Empty the contents of the syringe into the patient’s mouth by pushing the piston to the bottom of the syringe (figure 7). The contents of the syringe should be emptied into the side cheek of the patient’s mouth to avoid a choking hazard. Close the bottle with the plastic screw cap. Wash the syringe with water (figure 8).
If you take more Baclofen than you should
If you accidentally take too much Baclofen, tell your doctor at once or contact your nearest hospital casualty department. Take your medicine with you.

If you forget to take Baclofen
If you forget to take a dose, take the next dose at the usual time. DO NOT take a double dose.
If you stop taking Baclofen
You should not stop taking Baclofen suddenly. If the doctor decides to stop your treatment with Baclofen, the dose will be reduced gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms such as muscle spasms and increased muscle rigidity, fast heart rate, fever, confusion, hallucinations, changes in mood and emotion, mental disorders, feeling persecuted or convulsions (fits).
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
