What does it do?

Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant that acts on the central nervous system. It is mainly used to reduce muscle rigidity or spasms. It helps alleviate excessive muscle tension in the nervous system.

Baclofen binds to specific receptors on nerve cells, inhibiting nerve signal transmission. This reduces the nerve stimuli that contract the muscles, leading to muscle relaxation. As a result, muscle stiffness and spasms are alleviated.

Commonly used for

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other skeletal muscle relaxants, baclofen regulates specific inhibitory neurotransmitter pathways within the central nervous system. This results in a relatively selective and sustained effect on muscle tension relief. Additionally, sedation may accompany its use, so caution is necessary.
