摘要
In this case report, a medical sales representative consumed 250 mg of Baclofen out of curiosity. Baclofen has life-threatening complications like seizures, respiratory depression, and coma. A majority of patients recover on symptomatic treatment. Baclofen has a great potential for abuse and overdose; therefore, its use must be strictly monitored.
