📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Baclofen is used to treat pain and certain types of spasticity (muscle stiffness and tightness) from multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other spinal cord diseases. Baclofen is in a class of medications called skeletal muscle relaxants. Baclofen acts on the spinal cord nerves and decreases the number and severity of muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis or spinal cord conditions. It also relieves pain and improves muscle movement.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Abrupt discontinuation of baclofen has resulted in serious adverse reactions including death; therefore, reduce the dosage slowly when baclofen oral solution is discontinued. ( 5.1 ) Neonatal withdrawal symptoms can occur; gradually reduce the dosage and discontinue baclofen oral solution before delivery. ( 5.2 ) Baclofen oral solution can cause drowsiness and sedation.

Patients should avoid the operation of automobiles or other dangerous machinery until they know how the drug affects them. Advise patients that the central nervous system effects of baclofen oral solution may be additive to those of alcohol and other CNS depressants. ( 5.3 ) Baclofen oral solution can cause exacerbation of the following: psychotic disorders, schizophrenia, or confusional states; autonomic dysreflexia; epilepsy.

Use with caution in patients with these conditions ( 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.7 )

5.1Adverse Reactions From Abrupt Withdrawal of Baclofen Oral solution Abrupt discontinuation of baclofen, regardless of the cause, has resulted in adverse reactions that include hallucinations, seizures, high fever, altered mental status, exaggerated rebound spasticity, and muscle rigidity, that in rare cases has advanced to rhabdomyolysis, multiple organ-system failure, and death. Therefore, reduce the dosage slowly when baclofen oral solution is discontinued, unless the clinical situation justifies a rapid withdrawal.

5.2Neonatal Withdrawal Symptoms Withdrawal symptoms in neonates whose mothers were treated with oral baclofen throughout pregnancy have been reported starting hours to days after delivery. The symptoms of withdrawal in these infants have included increased muscle tone, tremor, jitteriness, and seizure. If the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus and baclofen is continued during pregnancy, gradually reduce the dosage and discontinue baclofen before delivery.

If slow withdrawal is not feasible, advise the parents or caregivers of the exposed neonate of the potential for neonatal withdrawal.

5.3Drowsiness and Sedation Drowsiness and sedation have been reported in up to 63% of patients taking baclofen, the active ingredient in baclofen oral solution [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Patients should avoid operation of automobiles or other dangerous machinery and activities made hazardous by decreased alertness when starting baclofen or increasing the dose until they know how the drug affects them. Advise patients that the central nervous system depressant effects of baclofen may be additive to those of alcohol and other CNS depressants.

5.4Poor Tolerability in Stroke Patients Baclofen should be used with caution in patients who have had a stroke. Baclofen has not significantly benefited patients with stroke. These patients have also shown poor tolerability to the drug.

5.5Exacerbation of Psychotic Disorders, Schizophrenia, or Confusional States Baclofen should be used with caution in patients suffering from psychotic disorders, schizophrenia, or confusional states. If treated with baclofen, these patients should be kept under careful surveillance because exacerbations of these conditions have been observed with oral baclofen administration.

5.6Exacerbation of Autonomic Dysreflexia Baclofen should be used with caution in patients with a history of autonomic dysreflexia. The presence of nociceptive stimuli or abrupt withdrawal of baclofen may cause an autonomic dysreflexic episode.

5.7Exacerbation of Epilepsy Baclofen should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy. Deterioration in seizure control has been reported in patients taking baclofen.

5.8Posture and Balance Effects Baclofen should be used with caution in patients where spasticity is utilized to sustain upright posture and balance in locomotion or whenever spasticity is utilized to obtain increased function.

5.9Ovarian Cysts A dose-related increase in incidence of ovarian cysts was observed in female rats treated chronically with oral ba… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The most common adverse reaction is transient drowsiness. In one controlled study of 175 patients, transient drowsiness was observed in 63% of those receiving baclofen compared to 36% of those in the placebo group.

Other common adverse reactions (up to 15%) are dizziness and weakness. Adverse reactions with a frequency of ≥1% are listed in Table 1. Table 1.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

7.1CNS Depressants and Alcohol Baclofen can cause CNS depression, including drowsiness and sedation, which may be additive when used concomitantly with other CNS depressants or alcohol [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ].

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~2 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm ( 8.1 ) Because baclofen is excreted unchanged through the kidneys it may be necessary to reduce the dosage in patients with impaired renal function. ( 8.6 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of baclofen in pregnant women. Oral administration of baclofen to pregnant rats resulted in an increased incidence of fetal structural abnormalities at a dose which was also associated with maternal toxicity. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal adverse reactions Baclofen may increase the risk of late-onset neonatal withdrawal symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Data Animal Data Baclofen given orally has been shown to increase the incidence of omphaloceles (ventral hernias) in fetuses of rats given approximately 13 times on a mg/kg basis, or 3 times on a mg/m 2 basis, the maximum oral dose recommended for human use; this dose also caused reductions in food intake and weight gain in the dams.

This abnormality was not seen in mice or rabbits.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary At recommended oral doses, baclofen is present in human milk. There are no human data on the effects of baclofen on milk production. There are no adequate data on the effects of baclofen on the breastfed infant.

Withdrawal symptoms can occur in breastfed infants when maternal administration of baclofen is stopped, or when breastfeeding is stopped [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for baclofen and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from baclofen or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 have not been established.

8.5Geriatric Use In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

8.6Renal Impairment Because baclofen is primarily excreted unchanged through the kidneys, baclofen should be given with caution to patients with renal impairment, and it may be necessary to reduce the dosage.

🆘 Overdosage 49 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE

10.1Symptoms of Baclofen Overdose Patients may present in coma or with progressive drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, somnolence, accommodation disorders, respiratory depression, seizures, or hypotonia progressing to loss of consciousness.

10.2Treatment for Overdose The treatment of baclofen overdose includes gastric decontamination, maintaining an adequate airway and respirations.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology 193 words ▾

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action The precise mechanism of action of baclofen is not fully understood. Baclofen inhibits both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal level, possibly by decreasing excitatory neurotransmitter release from afferent terminals, although actions at supraspinal sites may also occur and contribute to its clinical effect. Baclofen is a structural analog of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma- aminobutyric acid (GABA),and may exert its effects by stimulation of the GABA B receptor subtype.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Baclofen has been shown to have general CNS depressant properties, as indicated by the production of sedation with tolerance, somnolence, ataxia, and respiratory and cardiovascular depression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) , and Overdosage (10.1) ].

12.3Pharmacokinetics A pharmacokinetic study in heathy adult male subjects under fasting conditions at 20 mg dose level demonstrated similar bioavailability for baclofen oral solution (5 mg/5 mL) and oral tablets. The peak plasma concentrations were achieved in about 0.75 hours from oral solution and the apparent elimination half-life is about 5.7 hours. Baclofen is excreted primarily by the kidney in unchanged form, and there is relatively large intersubject variation in absorption and/or elimination.

Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for this package alone, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.

💵 About the dollar figures: “reimbursed” is what Medicaid paid pharmacies before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower than these numbers. Fee-for-service and managed-care claims are combined unless split above. Source: CMS State Drug Utilization Data; per-100k rates use 2023 Census population estimates.

Medicaid utilization by pack size

Medicaid (SDUD) totals over the four most recent reported quarters for every package size of this drug — handy when a specific package (e.g. a starter/titration pack) carries little or no Medicaid volume on its own.

Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Baclofen — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 23 manufacturers.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Baclofen. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.
