Baclofen Compounded Medications
Personalized Baclofen Formulas for Muscle Spasms, MS, and Neurological Relief
Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic medication commonly used to relieve symptoms of multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and other neurological conditions. At King’s Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we provide compounded versions of baclofen that are tailored to each patient’s dosage needs, preferred format, and sensitivities.
What Is Baclofen?
Baclofen works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This results in less spasticity, fewer muscle spasms, and improved mobility for individuals with conditions like MS, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries. It may also be used in off-label scenarios for chronic hiccups or alcohol dependence.
Common Uses for Baclofen
- Muscle spasticity due to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord damage
- Cerebral palsy
- Sciatica and lower back pain
- Post-stroke spasticity
- Chronic hiccups (off-label)
- Alcohol use disorder (off-label)
Why Choose Compounded Baclofen?
Commercial formulations may not meet everyone’s needs, especially when it comes to pediatric, geriatric, or special-needs patients. That’s where we step in. At King’s Pharmacy, we create custom preparations of baclofen such as:
- Oral suspensions or solutions for patients who can’t swallow pills
- Topical creams or gels for localized relief
- Suppositories for individuals with swallowing difficulties or GI concerns
- Capsules in exact dosages, including very low or incremental strengths
Compounded Baclofen May Be Ideal For:
- Patients with difficulty tolerating standard strengths
- Individuals experiencing side effects from oral tablets
- Pediatric or elderly patients needing precise micro-doses
- People seeking targeted topical application for muscle spasms
