Hello,
Baclofen is used to treat MS or spinal cord injuries or diseases and cerebral palsy.
I wolud say you would be ok..but before taking it you should have told your Doctor about the following:
ANY ALLERGIES, including allergies to foods, dyes, or preservatives.
Kidney disease, such as kidney failure (renal failure)
Epilepsy or a history of seizures
A history of stroke
Mental illness of any kind
Also, let your Doctor know if you are:
Pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant
Breastfeeding.
Also tell your Dotcor about prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements that you are taking
Description of compound
Baclofen is a white (or off white) mostly odorless crystalline powder, with a molecular weight of 213.66 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water, very slightly soluble in methanol, and insoluble in chloroform.
Baclofen Drug Interactions
Among the medications that may cause drug interactions with baclofen are antidepressants, antipsychotics, and sleep medications. When baclofen is combined with any medication that results in drowsiness or sedation, it may increase the risk of side effects, such as severe drowsiness, confusion, or dizziness. Before using baclofen, talk with health care provider about any interactions that may apply to you.
Always ask first do not take any chances I have given you the description compound and drug interactions of this medication for future reference... if you HAVE NOT TALKED TO YOUR DOCTOR DO SO, DO NOT SELF MEDICATE... from a caring individual.
