Understanding Baclofen

Precautions

Patients need to take precautions with this medication! Thus, they need to tell their doctor about their medical history. Serious points to include are a history of kidney disease, diabetes, or seizures. Past ulcers and high blood pressure matter as well! Doctors also ask their patients about bipolar disorder, blood clots, Parkinson's disease, and strokes. Patients need to inform them when they have cerebral palsy and schizophrenia as well! These issues are vital for doctors to know about, as they make this medication unsafe for the patients who have them. It is also not suitable for patients who take opioids or children under twelve years old! Pregnant or breastfeeding women cannot take it either.

Patients also need to avoid alcohol while they are taking this medication. Combining them increases the impaired reaction time and issues with cognition that this medication often causes. Patients need to avoid driving for this reason as well! Ultimately, patients need to avoid intense physical activity while using this medication.
