Baclof Liquid

Product Overview

Baclof Liquid is a medication containing the active ingredient Baclofen, which belongs to a class of drugs known as muscle relaxants. It is available in liquid form for easy administration.

Uses

Baclof Liquid is commonly prescribed to relieve muscle spasms, stiffness, and tightness associated with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and cerebral palsy. It works by acting on the nerves in the spinal cord to decrease muscle tone and improve muscle function.

How to Use

Baclof Liquid should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Shake the bottle well before each use. Use a medicine dropper or oral syringe to measure the correct dose. Mix the liquid with water or juice if desired and swallow the mixture immediately. Do not store the mixture for later use.

How it Works

Baclofen, the active ingredient in it, acts as a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist, which means it enhances the activity of GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve activity. By activating GABA receptors in the spinal cord, Baclofen reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, resulting in decreased muscle spasticity and relaxation of muscles.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Baclof Liquid is individualized based on factors such as the severity of symptoms, patient age, and response to treatment. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose and dosing schedule for you. It is important to follow their instructions carefully to achieve the best results.
