Hi,

Baclofen is not having the side-effect of hair fall. So, no matter,you may continue. The disease regarding hair fall may be telogen effluvium.

There may be some cause. Consult the dermatologist to get proper diagnosis and it's root cause. Accordingly, you may be treated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
