POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
DOSAGE
Treatment should always be initiated with small, gradually increasing
doses of Lioresal.
The lowest dose compatible with an optimal response is recommended.
The optimum
daily dosage should be individualized in such a way that clonus,
flexor and extensor
spasms and spasticity are reduced, but adverse effects are avoided as
far as possible.
In order to prevent excessive weakness and falling, Lioresal should be
used with caution
when spasticity is needed to sustain upright posture and balance in
locomotion or
whenever spasticity is used to maintain function. It may be important
to maintain some
degree of muscle tone and allow occasional spasms to help support
circulatory function.
If no benefit is apparent within 6 to 8 weeks of achieving the maximum
dosage, a decision
should be taken whether to continue with Lioresal.
Discontinuation of the treatment should always be gradual by
successively reducing the
dosage over a period of approximately 1 to 2 weeks, except in
overdose-related
emergencies, or where serious adverse effects have occurred (see
Section 4.4).
ADULTS:
Treatment should be started with a dosage of 15 mg daily, preferably
in 2 to 4 divided
doses. Dose should be titrated upwards cautiously, by 15 mg/day
increments at 3-day
intervals until the requisite daily dosage has been attained. In
certain patients reacting
