Apr 22, 2024

Introduction

BACLOFINE 25 contains Baclofen 25 mg, a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasticity resulting from neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injuries, and cerebral palsy. It offers significant relief from muscle stiffness, cramps, and spasms, improving mobility and quality of life.

What is Baclofen 25 mg?

Baclofen 25 mg is a higher-strength dosage of the antispastic agent Baclofen, used for patients with moderate to severe muscle tightness. It works by acting on the central nervous system to suppress abnormal muscle reflexes caused by damaged nerves or brain signals.

Tab Baclofen 25 mg is especially useful when lower doses (like 10 mg or 20 mg) are insufficient for symptom control.

Mechanism of Action – How Does Baclofen Work?

Baclofen is a GABA-B receptor agonist. It works by:

  • Inhibiting the transmission of nerve signals that cause muscle spasticity

  • Relaxing hyperactive muscle tone while preserving voluntary movements

  • Acting on the spinal cord and brain to reduce muscle pain, stiffness, and spasms

This action improves movement, posture, and functional independence, especially in neurological patients.

Uses of Baclofen 25 mg Tablets

BACLOFINE 25 is prescribed for:

  • Muscle spasticity due to multiple sclerosis (MS)

  • Spinal cord injuries or diseases causing muscle tightness

  • Cerebral palsy, stroke, and traumatic brain injuries

Dosage & Administration of Tab Baclofen 25 mg
