Baclofen works by blocking the binding of calcium ions to muscle proteins, thereby helping to relax muscles and thereby reduce pain, swelling and stiffness. Baclofen is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, liquid suspensions, and tablet ampoules. Baclofen is taken orally, usually once or twice a day, and it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to achieve the best results.

Baclofen: Muscle Relaxants

How Baclofen works

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant. It acts by increasing the effects of certain chemical messengers (such as GABA) in the spinal cord that induces muscle relaxation. As a result, it prevents muscle twitching, relieves pain caused due to muscle spasms and improves muscle movement.

When to consult your doctor

Consult your doctor:

• if you experience feeling extremely depressed with thoughts of harming or killing themselves (suicidal thoughts)

• if you experience uncontrollable muscle spasms affecting the eyes, head, neck or body
