What Is Baclofen?
Baclofen belongs to a class of medications known as muscle relaxants. Its primary role is to help alleviate muscle spasms, a condition where muscles tighten or contract uncontrollably. This medication is commonly prescribed for individuals experiencing muscle rigidity and discomfort due to various neurological conditions.
Baclofen 10mg Tablets work by relaxing the muscles, reducing spasms, and promoting better movement, which helps patients regain control of their muscles.
Active Ingredient
Each tablet contains 10mg of Baclofen, the active ingredient responsible for its muscle-relaxing effects. Baclofen targets the central nervous system, particularly the nerves in the spinal cord, to help reduce the signals that cause muscle spasms. By doing so, Baclofen decreases muscle tightness and makes movements easier, providing relief from pain and discomfort.
How Baclofen Helps
Baclofen helps by acting on the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain and spinal cord. GABA is a neurotransmitter that slows down nerve impulses, which, in turn, relaxes muscles. By increasing the effect of GABA, Baclofen helps:
- Reduce muscle tightness
- Alleviate pain from spasms
- Improve movement and flexibility
- Enhance comfort in daily activities
