Beclovan 10mg Tablet 1 Strip

✔️ Dosage and Administration

• The dose depends on the patient's age, condition, response to treatment and kidney function. The following are general reference regimens, not individualized treatment instructions.
• Adults: Treatment for spasticity commonly begins with 5 mg three times daily for 3 days. The dose may then be increased gradually under medical supervision according to response and tolerability. A commonly referenced maximum oral dose is 80 mg daily.
• Children: Dosing is individualized according to body weight, age and clinical condition. Pediatric treatment requires specialist supervision.
• Older adults: A lower starting dose and cautious dose adjustment may be appropriate.
• Renal impairment: Dose reduction may be necessary because baclofen is primarily eliminated through the kidneys. Patients with significant kidney impairment require particular caution.
• Take Beclovan 10 with or after food, as directed. Swallow the tablet whole if required by the product instructions. Do not increase the dose or frequency without consulting your doctor.

✔️ Drug Interactions

• Antihypertensive medicines: Baclofen may enhance blood-pressure-lowering effects and increase the risk of dizziness or hypotension.
• Levodopa: In patients with Parkinson's disease, concurrent use may increase the risk of confusion, agitation or hallucinations.
• Alcohol and central nervous system depressants: Sedatives, sleeping medicines, opioid painkillers and other CNS depressants may increase drowsiness and potentially cause severe respiratory or CNS depression.

✔️ Side Effects:

• Drowsiness or sleepiness
• Dizziness
• Fatigue and weakness
• Nausea
• Confusion
• Headache
• Constipation

✔️ Contraindications:

Beclovan 10 should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to baclofen or any of the tablet's ingredients. Active peptic ulcer disease is also listed as a contraindication in some product references; consult the applicable product information and your doctor before use.

✔️ Safety Information:

• Drowsiness and dizziness: Avoid driving, operating machinery or performing tasks requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol because it may increase drowsiness and central nervous system depression.
• Sudden discontinuation: Do not stop baclofen abruptly, especially after prolonged use. Sudden withdrawal can cause hallucinations, confusion, fever, rebound muscle stiffness, and seizures, and may be life-threatening.
• Kidney impairment: Baclofen can accumulate when kidney function is reduced, increasing the risk of toxicity.
• Neurological or psychiatric conditions: Use cautiously in patients with epilepsy, a history of seizures, severe psychiatric disorders or confusion.
• Respiratory problems: Extra caution is required in patients with respiratory impairment.
• Other medical conditions: Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, a history of peptic ulcer disease, cerebrovascular disease, or liver or kidney problems.
• Older adults: Doses may need to be started low and adjusted carefully.

✔️ Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnancy: Available human data are insufficient to establish the safety of baclofen during pregnancy. Animal studies have identified developmental effects at certain doses. Use during pregnancy only when the treating physician determines that the expected benefits justify the potential risks. Do not discontinue long-term treatment abruptly if pregnancy occurs.

Breastfeeding: Baclofen passes into breast milk in small amounts. Evidence regarding its effects on milk production and breastfed infants is limited. Consult a healthcare professional before using Beclovan 10 while breastfeeding, and seek advice before stopping treatment or breastfeeding because withdrawal symptoms may occur in certain circumstances.

✔️ Storage:

Store according to the manufacturer's instructions, protected from excessive heat and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
