Pharmacokinetics of Baclofen in a Full-Term Newborn after Intrauterine Exposure: A Case Report

Résumé

Intrauterine exposure to baclofen can lead to syndrome of withdrawal during the first days of the newborn. We report the case of a full-term baby exposed to baclofen during pregnancy. The mother was treated with baclofen 10 mg 4 times daily. Blood samples were collected from the mother before entering labor and from the baby at H0, H11, H31, and H102 after birth to measure baclofen concentrations and monitor its elimination. Baclofen maternal and neonate pharmacokinetics (PK) and placental transfer were assessed using a physiologically based PK model. Baclofen PK in the neonate after birth followed a monoexponential elimination with a half-life of 10 h, 3-fold longer than that in adults. The newborn was monitored for 11 days without experiencing any symptoms of withdrawal. Reducing baclofen dosing regimen of the mother to the lowest and therefore reducing fetal exposure to baclofen is essential. This case reports for the first time the baclofen pharmacokinetic profile in a newborn.
