Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help prevent dehydration, a common side effect.
Drowsiness and Dizziness
Baclofen can cause drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Consider adjusting your schedule to allow for rest periods. If drowsiness is severe, talk to your doctor.
Muscle Weakness
Muscle weakness is another potential side effect. Engage in gentle exercises, like walking, to maintain strength and mobility. Avoid strenuous activity until you feel better. Consult your doctor if weakness persists.
Nausea and Vomiting
- Take Baclofen with food to minimize nausea. If vomiting occurs, try smaller, more frequent meals. Inform your doctor if nausea or vomiting is severe or persistent.
Low Blood Pressure
Rise slowly from a lying or sitting position to avoid dizziness. Stay hydrated. Report any significant drops in blood pressure to your doctor.
Withdrawal Symptoms
Never stop taking Baclofen abruptly. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for gradually reducing your dose to prevent withdrawal symptoms like seizures or hallucinations. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience withdrawal.
Other Side Effects
Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor, including changes in vision, breathing difficulties, or allergic reactions. They can help manage these side effects and ensure your safety.
Dietary Considerations
Maintain a balanced diet. Proper nutrition supports overall health and can help manage some side effects.
