What is <\/span>baclofen<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Baclofen<\/span><\/a> is an <\/span>FDA<\/span>-approved medication prescribed to treat <\/span>muscle spasms<\/span>, stiffness, and tightness caused by conditions such as <\/span>multiple sclerosis<\/span> and other <\/span>spinal cord diseases<\/span>. The <\/span>skeletal muscle relaxant<\/span> may also be prescribed off-label to manage alcohol use disorder (AUD), trigeminal neuralgia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and chronic hiccups. <\/span>Baclofen<\/span> is the <\/span>generic name<\/span> of several <\/span>brand-name<\/span> muscle relaxants<\/span>, including <\/span>Lioresal<\/span>, <\/span>Gablofen<\/span>, <\/span>Ozobax<\/span>, <\/span>Fleqsuvy<\/span>, <\/span>Lyvispah<\/span>, and Kemstro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The prescription\u2019s <\/span>mechanism of action<\/span> can help address <\/span>muscle stiffness<\/span> and other forms of muscle <\/span>spasticity<\/span>.<\/span> \u201cIt works in the spinal cord on GABA receptors,\u201d says Chrissie Ott, MD, an internist and pediatrician at Providence St. Joseph Health in Portland, Oregon. \u201cIt is usually given in pill form but can be administered through an implanted pump in cases of severe <\/span>spasticity<\/span> to avoid impacting the brain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What is <\/span>baclofen<\/span> used to treat?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Baclofen<\/span> is primarily used to treat severe muscle <\/span>spasticity<\/span>, particularly for people with conditions such as <\/span>spinal cord injuries<\/span> and <\/span>multiple sclerosis<\/span>. The <\/span>oral tablet<\/span> acts as a GABA-B receptor agonist<\/span><\/a>, stimulating inhibitory signals and blocking excitatory signals in the spinal cord to reduce excessive muscle tone and involuntary <\/span>muscle spasms<\/span>. It can decrease the release of certain neurotransmitters, helping to relax muscles and improve mobility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
