A member asked:
Should a patient with non-functioning kidneys take baclofen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caution: According to the package insert, Baclofen is primarily excreted unchanged through the kidneys, it should be given with caution, and it may be necessary to reduce the dosage. I would not use it without talking to the nephrologist first.
