Offensichtlich ist Baclofen in hohen Dosen seit 1991 in der neurologischen Praxis als gut verträglich bekannt. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist vor über 20 Jahren veröffentlicht worden.




ABSTRACT
We reviewed a 10% random sample of charts from an outpatient clinic for multiple sclerosis to determine the frequency with which baclofen was prescribed for spasticity in high doses (>80 mg/d). About 20% of patients had taken high-dose baclofen, and 15% were still receiving a high dose. Taking a high dose was not associated with discontinuing treatment.
