She has been experiencing hiccups for the past two weeks. Is it possible to give her a 10 mg baclofen tablet once a day? or half a tablet should be administered.

Baclofen (Baclofen) should not be started or adjusted without a doctor?s advice, especially if hiccups means muscle spasms or jerky movements, because the correct dose depends on age, cause, and overall health. Usually, doctors begin with a low dose (often 5 mg once or twice daily) and increase gradually if needed, so giving a full 10 mg tablet at once may be too strong for some people. It?s safer not to self-medicate?please consult a doctor to identify the cause of the symptoms and get the correct dose and guidance.
