Is Taking Double The Dosage Of Baclofen Advisable?

I take 30mg of baclofen 4 times a day and 2mg tizanidine 3 times a day. I have MS. I got my times mixed up and took the baclofen instead of tizanidine which means I have had 60mg of baclofen in two hours. Is that OK? My next dose was to be at 4pm and I took it at 2pm.

Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Baclofen is a safe drug and is free of serous side effects. You have taken double doses by accident and this would not cause any serious issues. No need to worry. Baclofen will not cause any adverse effects at this dose. In future avoid taking double dose and make proper log of tablets.

Thanks, TAKE CARE
