Abstract

6 cases of baclofen overdose were presented. Intentional (suicidal) poisonings of baclofen are rare but their course is serious because of deep coma and cardiodepression. Till now the baclofen poisonings have been treated conventionally. Basing on the pharmacological data (action and kinetics) of baclofen and high severity of poisoning haemodialysis was used in all of them with good effect. The efficacy of such treatment was evaluated and results were compared to the toxicological literature data.
