High-dose oral baclofen: experience in patients with multiple sclerosis

C R Smith et al. Neurology. 1991 Nov.

Abstract

We reviewed a 10% random sample of charts from an outpatient clinic for multiple sclerosis to determine the frequency with which baclofen was prescribed for spasticity in high doses (greater than 80 mg/d). About 20% of patients had taken high-dose baclofen, and 15% were still receiving a high dose. Taking a high dose was not associated with discontinuing treatment.
