Specializes in Internal Medicine

Caution:: The maximum daily dose of Baclofen should not exceed 80mg/day. It's usually given 3-4 times a day. Suggesting 27 mg 3 times a day. I do not recommend exceeding the recommended dose unless your physician has told you to do so. **Baclofen is a drug with many potential side effects. It should NOT be used for as a routine muscle relaxer. Should ONLY be used in patients with neurologic disease.
