C
H

Baclofen, USP is a white to off-white odorless or practically odorless
crystalline powder.
It is slightly soluble in water, very slightly soluble in methanol and
insoluble in chloroform.
Each tablet, for oral administration, contains 5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg
baclofen, USP. In
addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients:
Microcrystalline Cellulose,
Pregelatinized Starch, Sodium Starch Glycolate, Colloidal Silicon
dioxide and Magnesium
Stearate.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The precise mechanism of action of baclofen is not fully known.
Baclofen is capable of
inhibiting both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal
level, possibly by
hyperpolarization of afferent terminals, although actions at
supraspinal sites may also
occur and contribute to its clinical effect. Although baclofen is an
analog of the putative
inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), there is
no conclusive
evidence that actions on GABA systems are involved in the production
of its clinical
effects. In studies with animals 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.
Baclofen is rapidly
and extensively absorbed and eliminated. Absorption may be
dose-dependent, being
reduced with increasing doses. Baclofen is excreted primarily by the
kidney in
unchanged form and there is relatively large intersubject variation in
absorption and/or
elimination.
