About Lioresal: Lioresal (Baclofen) – 25mg is an antispastic drug and a muscle relaxer. It is used to treat symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Patients with multiple sclerosis can experience painful spasms and muscle stiffness. This is caused by an overload of communication where the nerves send too many messages to the brain resulting in painful involuntary spasms. Lioresal (Baclofen) is a gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)-B receptor which works by reducing the number of messages being transmitted between nerves. People who have muscle spasms or have suffered injury or disease to the spinal cord can benefit from taking Lioresal.
How to use Lioresal
This medicine is taken orally by swallowing. Each tablet contains 125mg of the active agent baclofen. It is a prescription drug, and you should follow the doctor’s instructions. The usual dosage is taking one tablet three times a day although the doctor can change this to get the best results. Take all the medicine prescribed to avoid the risk of getting seizures and hallucinations from discontinuing use. Lioresal (Baclofen) tablets can be taken with or without food.
Lioresal Dosage
Lioresal (Baclofen) is administered in small doses when treatment starts and the dose is slowly increased until it becomes effective. Normal dosage is one 125mg pill every 8 hours. If you miss a dose, take the medicine as soon as you remember, or you can forego it if it’s already time for your next dose. Do not take larger amounts than prescribed to cover for a missed dose as this can cause side effects. Call the doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
