FAQ
Which Baclofen strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Baclofen comes as 10mg and 25mg tablets. Each strength is available in packs of 10, 30, 60 or 90. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How is Baclofen delivered to Hong Kong?
Baclofen tablets can be sent by tracked courier in 5 to 9 business days with online tracking, or by standard airmail in 14 to 21 business days, untracked. Every order arrives in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing outside about the contents.
What are the other names for baclofen?
Brand names for baclofen include Fleqsuvy, Lioresal and Liofen. Baclofen tablets are a pure generic baclofen product and are not any of those brands. Here, baclofen can also be bought online as generic Lioresal.
Can I drink alcohol while taking baclofen?
Alcohol adds to the drowsiness and dizziness baclofen already causes and can leave you unsteady on your feet. The combination tends to hit harder in the first days of use or after a strength increase, so it is worth knowing how the tablets affect you before you drink.
What happens if I stop baclofen suddenly?
Stopping overnight after weeks or months of use can trigger seizures, fever, confusion, muscle stiffness and hallucinations, and the risk is higher after long courses at higher strengths. The dose is stepped down gradually instead.
Is baclofen the same as Lioresal?
Yes — Lioresal is a brand name for baclofen, so both contain the same active ingredient in the same tablet strengths, 10mg and 25mg. Only the name on the box differs.
How does baclofen compare with tizanidine?
Both are muscle relaxants used for spasticity, but they work differently: baclofen acts on GABA receptors in the spinal cord, while tizanidine dampens nerve signals through alpha-2 receptors. Tizanidine is more often linked to dry mouth and to changes in liver enzymes; baclofen tends to cause more drowsiness.
Will baclofen affect my driving?
It can. Drowsiness and dizziness are the effects people notice most, and they are strongest in the first days and after any increase in strength. If a dose leaves you sleepy or unsteady, driving and machinery are best left until you know how the tablets affect you.
About Baclofen
What baclofen tablets are for
Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant that works on nerves in the spinal cord rather than on the muscle itself. It is used for spasticity — muscle stiffness and tightness — and for the painful spasms that come with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries and other spinal cord diseases. Alongside fewer and milder spasms, movement often becomes easier and pain eases. It does not treat the condition causing the stiffness.
How it eases the spasms
In the spinal cord, baclofen switches on GABA receptors, the sites the body's own calming messenger uses. That turns down the nerve signals telling a muscle to keep contracting, so a limb that locks or jerks without warning settles. The muscle itself is untouched; the change happens one step upstream, and what you notice is easier movement.
Starting low and coming off slowly
The first doses are small, usually three a day, and the amount rises over days or weeks until the stiffness loosens. Morning, early afternoon and bedtime suits many people. Going the other way takes the same patience: after months of baclofen the dose is lowered in steps, because a sudden stop can bring on seizures and hallucinations.
Side effects
Sleepiness, dizziness, weakness and headache come first for most people, followed by nausea, constipation, tiredness, poor sleep and passing urine more often. They tend to fade as the body gets used to the dose. Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there) and seizures are the serious ones and need urgent treatment.
Baclofen 10mg and 25mg tablets
These are plain oral tablets in the two standard strengths. The same ingredient is also sold as Lioresal, the original brand name, in the same 10mg and 25mg strengths and the same tablet form; only the name on the box changes. For more on how baclofen is used, the baclofen page covers the ingredient itself.
