AimTo study the effect of baclofen in preventing drug use in persons with cannabis misuse.MethodologyAn open label study to asses the effect of baclofen in treating persons with cannabis dependence (ICD-10 criteria) with assessments of outcome every month for a period of three months.Results20 male subjects (mean age of 29.70 ± 10.19 years) with a mean age at development of dependence of 20.75 ± 09.34 years and mean duration of cannabis use of 89.40 ± 57.41 months, were treated with baclofen (mean dose of 33.75 ± 04.83 mg./day). At three months 12 subjects (60%) completely stopped, 6 subjects (30%) decreased the frequency and 2 subjects (10%) continued the same frequency of the cannabis intake.ConclusionOur findings provide preliminary support for the use of baclofen in maintaining abstinence and improving outcome in patients with cannabis dependence.
