Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Worsened Spasms From Back Surgery After Taking Baclofen Be Due To The Effects Of Other Medications?
My husband is taking baclofen because he has spasms from a back surgery. He does have Prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone. He is complaining that the spasms are getting worse. He takes prednisone, metformin, casodex, klorcon, ferrous gluconate. Do any of these drugs interact to make the spasms worse?
These muscle spasm is most probably low calcium and low salt in body. I would suggest your husband to show to a neurophysian and he may advice you to take calcium and vitamin d3 daily. Also I would add a little salt in your diet , you can take salty lemonade. it will take care do spasm. I do not think that Baclofen can cause spasm, rather it is treatment of spasticity.
