Suggest Medicine For Muscle Spasm
My son has spastic CP and began experiencing severe muscle spasms several nights a week. We finally had a Baclofen pump implanted. It has helped some, but the spasms will start up again after a month or so. Then we need to increase the baclofen pump dosage again. The baclofen has taken away all his leg strength used for standing and walking. Could Tizandine be used to stop severe muscle spasms on an as needed basis?
