Baclof 25 mg Tablet

Baclof 25 mg Tablet is a prescription baclofen medicine in tablet form, with each tablet containing 25 mg of baclofen. Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant used to help relieve muscle stiffness, tightness, and spasms. It is commonly prescribed for spasticity caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord disorders. This Baclof 25 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is typically used only when a clinician has decided a stronger dose is appropriate.

How it works: Baclofen works in the central nervous system, mainly by reducing overactive nerve signals that cause muscles to tighten and spasm. As a tablet, Baclof 25 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed to help relax muscles and improve comfort and movement.

Baclof 25 mg Tablet provides 25 mg of baclofen in each tablet, which is a relatively high single-tablet strength compared with lower-dose baclofen tablets. Doctors may choose this strength for patients who need more symptom control and have already tolerated baclofen, since stronger tablets can increase the chance of drowsiness, dizziness, and weakness. It is not the usual starting strength for many patients, so it should be used exactly as prescribed.

• Spasticity from multiple sclerosis
• Muscle spasms due to spinal cord injury or disease
• Muscle stiffness and tightness
• Help with painful involuntary muscle contractions

• Swallow Baclof 25 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it at the same times each day to help keep a steady effect.
• It can be taken with or without food; taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless a pharmacist or prescriber tells you it is safe to do so.
• Avoid alcohol because it can make drowsiness and dizziness worse.
• Do not stop taking baclofen suddenly without medical advice, especially if you have been using it regularly.

Each Baclof 25 mg Tablet contains 25 mg of baclofen, so one tablet already delivers a higher strength dose. The doctor decides how often it is taken, and the total daily amount may be divided into multiple doses; the maximum daily dose is set by the prescriber and should not be exceeded. Because this is a 25 mg strength, it is important to follow the prescribed schedule closely rather than adjusting the dose on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
