About this document

Baclofen by Pranjali Gaonkar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Baclofen, a GABA-B receptor agonist, has been shown to be effective in treating alcohol use disorder (AUD), with its mechanism of action still unclear. France is the only country where baclofen is approved for AUD treatment, with a history of high-dose usage leading to regulatory changes due to reported adverse effects. Common side effects include somnolence, mental confusion, and potential severe outcomes such as seizures and respiratory depression, particularly at higher doses.
