Lioresal DS (active ingredient: baclofen) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Spasticity: Lioresal DS is used to manage and relieve muscle spasticity caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or other neurological disorders.
  2. Muscle Relaxation: It is also indicated to help reduce muscle tone and improve overall muscle function in patients with severe spastic conditions.

Lioresal DS belongs to a class of drugs known as muscle relaxants, specifically centrally acting muscle relaxants, which work by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle spasticity and improve motor function.

Baclofen comes as a tablet to take by mouth usually is taken 3 times a day at evenly spaced intervals. It should be taken orally with or without food as directed by a healthcare provider. Tablets are usually meant to be swallowed whole with water as the medication may have a bitter taste or may irritate the mouth and throat if chewed.

The dosage and frequency of the medication will depend on the individual patient and their medical condition, as determined by their healthcare provider. The usual starting dose for adults is 10 mg (half a tablet), taken three times a day, and the medication may be gradually increased as needed. The maximum recommended dose of Lioresal DS is 20mg taken four times a day. Treatment should be initiated with a low dose, which may be gradually increased over a period of several days or weeks.

Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
