Fenobac Dosage/Direction for Use

Take note optimum dosage generally ranges from 30 mg to 75 mg daily, although occasionally in hospitalized patients daily doses up to 100 mg maybe necessary.
The dose should be titrated to gain maximum benefit and minimize adverse reactions.
Tablets should be taken with food or mild to reduce gastrointestinal intolerance.
Baclofen should be withdrawn gradually if cessation of therapy is indicated.
Adult: The usual starting dose of Baclofen for adults is 5 mg given three times daily. Based on the response, the dose can be increased gradually every three days by 5 mg to a maximum of 80 mg/day in several doses. If benefits are not evident after a 6 to 8 weeks trial period, patients should be slowly withdrawn from the drug.
Children: In children aged 12-24 months, the recommended daily dose is 10-20 mg, and in children aged 2-10 years, 20-60 mg per day (from starting dose 0.3-0.75 mg/kg body weight per day up-to 2 mg/kg body weight per day).
Elderly: Dosage should be cautiously administered and the patient kept under appropriate surveillance. Toxicity due to Baclofen may be mistaken for uremic encephalopathy.
Impaired Renal Function: Baclofen should be used with caution. Lower doses (approximately 5 mg per day) should be used for patients with impaired renal function or those undergoing chronic haemodialysis.
