Measure
Period 1 Baclofen 10mg
Participants will receive a single dose of 10mg of Baclofen administered as oral tablets. Baclofen: Baclofen is the only selective GABA-B agonist licensed for human use. Originally developed as a potential anti-epileptic in the 1920s, it was found to have anti-spastic effects and is currently used for the treatment of spastic movement, especially in instances of spinal cord injury, spastic diplegia, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Vitamin D3
Participants will receive a single dose of either 20μg (to match period 1), 60μg (to match period 2) or 120μg (to match period 3) of Vitamin D3 administered as oral tablets. Vitamin D3: Placebo tablets will be vitamin D3, (colecalciferol).
Period 2 Baclofen 30mg
Participants will receive a single dose of 30mg of Baclofen.
Period 3 Baclofen 60mg
Participants will receive a single dose of 60mg of Baclofen
