Administration advice:
-May take orally with or without food; however, once a formulation is decided on and a decision is made to take with or without food, this regimen should not be altered.
General:
-Because this drug has a relatively short duration of effect, dosing should occur at times when relief of spasticity is most important, such as before activities of daily living.
-Considerable variation in response has been observed and therefore careful titration is necessary in order to not exceed the dose producing the desired effect.
-Gradual dose reduction is advised on discontinuation so as to minimize risk of withdrawal and rebound hypertension, tachycardia, and hypertonia.
Monitoring:
-Obtain aminotransferase levels at baseline, 1 month after maximum dose is achieved, and as clinically indicated (e.g. if hepatic injury is suspected).
-Consider obtaining baseline renal function in elderly patients.
-Monitor for hypotension in at-risk patients and those receiving concomitant antihypertensive therapy.
-Monitor for sedation in patients receiving concomitant CNS depressant agents.
Patient advice:
-Patients may take this drug with or without food, but once the decision is made to take with or without food it should be taken this way consistently.
-Patients should check with their healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medications as this drug is known to interact with other medications.
-Patients should be advised not to abruptly stop taking this medication without first talking with their healthcare provider.
-Patients should be advised that this drug may cause hypotension and they should be careful when changing positions form lying to standing.
-Patients should be advised this drug may cause significant somnolence, especially if taken with other CNS depressants or alcohol; they should refrain from activities requiring mental alertness until the effects of the drug are known.
