Consult your doctor before adjusting your Baclofen dosage. A 40mg dose is considered moderate; however, individual responses vary greatly depending on factors such as your weight, medical history, and the specific reason for prescription. Don’t self-adjust your medication.
Baclofen’s effects, including muscle relaxation and pain reduction, generally become noticeable within 30-60 minutes of ingestion. Peak effects typically occur within 2-3 hours. The duration of action can last up to 8 hours, but this can differ depending on individual metabolism and other medications taken concurrently.
Common side effects at this dosage include drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea. Less common, but potentially serious, side effects involve breathing difficulties and seizures. Report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and frequency. Never exceed the prescribed dose without explicit medical supervision. Consistent monitoring is key to safe and effective Baclofen use.
