Baclofen
Lioresal is the brand-name version of baclofen, a skeletal muscle relaxant used to ease spasticity and muscle spasms. It comes in 10 mg and 25 mg tablets.
Key points
- Stopping baclofen suddenly can cause serious withdrawal symptoms, and drowsiness is a common early effect.
- The medicine information focuses on spasticity linked to multiple sclerosis and spinal cord conditions.
How does Baclofen work?
Baclofen acts on nerves in the spinal cord to reduce how often and how severely muscles spasm. It quiets the overactive reflex signals that keep muscles tight. You will find it under Pain & Anti-inflammatories alongside medicines that ease muscle-related discomfort.
