What this interaction means in plain words
Baclofen and Mipomersen can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens

What to do
Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin according to the mipomersen monitoring schedule, and stop or reassess therapy if transaminases rise significantly.
