   I am not sure where but I will dig up the company's address and 
they should be able to tell you.

   I hope this is something of help.  Be careful with taking more
of the Baclofen, it is supposed to be taken in steady amounts and
incresed or decresed by increments with a maximum recommended dosage
of 80mg a day.
