----------
BACLOFEN INJECTION (INTRATHECAL)
Abrupt discontinuation of intrathecal baclofen, regardless of the
cause, has resulted in sequelae
that include 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.
Prevention of abrupt discontinuation of intrathecal baclofen requires
careful attention to
programming and monitoring of the infusion system, refill scheduling
and procedures, and pump
alarms. Patients and caregivers should be advised of the importance of
keeping scheduled refill
visits and should be educated on the early symptoms of baclofen
withdrawal. Special attention
should be given to patients at apparent risk (e.g. spinal cord
injuries at T-6 or above,
communication difficulties, history of withdrawal symptoms from oral
or intrathecal baclofen).
Consult the technical manual of the implantable infusion system for
additional postimplant clinician
and patient information (see WARNINGS).
