Lioresal

(Baclofen)

Lioresal (baclofen) is a brand-name muscle relaxer. It is administered to adults and children aged 4 and up to treat severe spasticity caused by specific disorders, such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy. Lioresal is an oral tablet that is taken 3 times daily. Lioresal intrathecal is another option to deliver baclofen as a continuous infusion via an implanted pump. However, before you undertake the operation to obtain the pump, your healthcare team will provide test doses of Lioresal to evaluate if it works for you. This medicine has several negative effects, including nausea, drowsiness, and dizziness.

Important information about Lioresal

How does Lioresal work?

The active ingredient in Lioresal is baclofen, which is a muscle relaxant and antispastic medication. The exact mechanism of action is not completely understood, but it is thought to reduce spasticity by blocking certain nerve receptors that cause your muscles to tense or cramp up.

Intrathecal baclofen (Lioresal) is administered directly into the intrathecal space (the space surrounding the spinal cord), usually by a pump through a small tube (catheter).

How do you use Lioresal?

Follow all directions provided by your doctor and read all documents carefully, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide, before using Lioresal. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Lioresal:

  • Lioresal is typically taken by mouth 3 times daily.
  • Your provider will usually start at a low dose and gradually increase it based on how well it’s working for you and how well you are tolerating it.
  • Mark your calendar for appointments with your prescriber, including refills for your medicine. This ensures that you are being carefully monitored and that you do not run out of oral baclofen (Lioresal), which can produce withdrawal symptoms such as muscle spasms, itching, and convulsions.

What are the side effects of Lioresal?

The most common side effects of Lioresal seen in clinical trials include:

  • Sleepiness.
  • Muscle weakness.
  • Nausea and vomiting.
  • Constipation.
  • Dizziness.
  • Dry mouth.
  • Urinary retention.
  • Sexual dysfunction.
  • Memory impairment or confusion.

Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Lioresal. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:

  • Taking too much Lioresal. Symptoms of overdose include tiredness, disorientation, decreased breathing, and seizures.
  • Stopping Lioresal suddenly. Withdrawal symptoms include muscle spasms, itching, low blood pressure, a "pins and needles" sensation, hallucinations, and seizures.
  • CNS depression. Symptoms include shallow or slow breathing, shortness of breath, dizziness, trouble staying awake, and confusion.
  • Allergic reaction to the medication, such as hives, trouble breathing, and swelling of your face, tongue, and throat.
  • Increased risk of developing an ovarian cyst.

These are not all of the possible side effects of Lioresal. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.

What are the warnings or precautions for Lioresal?

Before starting Lioresal, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including whether you have:

  • An allergy to baclofen.
  • An infection.
  • Epilepsy.
  • Kidney disease.
  • Consult your doctor before consuming alcohol or using other drugs or natural substances that slow your reactions.

Drinking alcohol or taking medications that can make you drowsy.
