A good source for info. on medicines is www.rxlist.com.
Type in whatever medication you're interested in and it will give you pages of
info.
I was on baclofen for a while; I think it is for muscle spasms. I took it in
pill form. Some who need it more often have some type of pump -- don't know
much about that. It did seem to increase urinary frequency for me without
helping much otherwise, so I went off it, but it has helped a lot of others.
