Yes, Lyvispah is also used to manage spasticity caused by spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions that cause muscle stiffness and spasms.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Lyvispah?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time of your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed dose.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Lyvispah Work?
Lyvispah contains baclofen, which acts as a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist. It works by inhibiting the transmission of nerve signals in the spinal cord that are responsible for causing muscle spasms. By reducing the activity of these nerves, baclofen helps to relax the muscles, reducing spasticity, cramps, and stiffness, thereby improving mobility and reducing discomfort.
Common Dosages
- 5 mg granule sachets
- 10 mg granule sachets
- 20 mg granule sachets
Typical Dosing
- The typical starting dose for spasticity is 5 mg taken three times daily. The dose may be gradually increased every 3 days by 5 mg until an optimal dose is reached, usually between 40 mg and 80 mg per day.
- Maximum dosage should not exceed 80 mg per day.
- Lyvispah granules can be sprinkled directly into the mouth or mixed with a soft food like applesauce or yogurt, or with a liquid such as water.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Spasticity resulting from multiple sclerosis
- Spinal cord injuries or diseases that cause muscle stiffness and spasms
Who Shouldn't Take Lyvispah?
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to baclofen or any component of the formulation.
- Severe kidney impairment, as baclofen is primarily eliminated through the kidneys.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Lyvispah exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not stop taking it suddenly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as hallucinations, seizures, or worsening spasticity.
- Lyvispah can be mixed with soft food or liquids for easy administration, especially for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills.
- You may experience drowsiness or dizziness when first starting Lyvispah. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
- Alcohol should be avoided, as it can increase the sedative effects of Lyvispah and increase the risk of side effects like dizziness or drowsiness.

Risks and Warnings of Lyvispah
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Do not stop taking Lyvispah suddenly, as abrupt discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, hallucinations, confusion, and worsening spasticity. The dosage should be reduced gradually under medical supervision.
- Kidney Function: Baclofen is primarily cleared by the kidneys, so patients with kidney disease may need dosage adjustments. Regular kidney function tests may be required.
- Sedation: Lyvispah can cause significant drowsiness and sedation, especially when starting the medication or when doses are increased. Avoid activities that require full alertness, such as driving, until you know how Lyvispah affects you.
- Caution in Elderly Patients: Older adults may be more sensitive to the effects of Lyvispah and may require lower doses to avoid excessive sedation or dizziness.
Interactions with Lyvispah
Common Drug Interactions
- CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, alcohol): Using Lyvispah with other medications that depress the central nervous system can increase the risk of drowsiness, dizziness, and respiratory depression.
- Antihypertensive medications: Baclofen may enhance the effects of blood pressure-lowering medications, potentially leading to hypotension (low blood pressure).
Alternatives to Lyvispah
- Baclofen tablets: The standard oral tablet form of baclofen for spasticity management.
- Tizanidine (Zanaflex): Another muscle relaxant commonly used for spasticity.
- Diazepam (Valium): A benzodiazepine used for muscle spasms and spasticity.
- Dantrolene: A muscle relaxant used to treat spasticity, especially in cases of severe muscle stiffness.
