How Baclof Strawberry Flavour Liquid 100ml Works?

Baclof Liquid contains Baclofen (5 MG), which acts on the body in the following ways:

Activation of GABA-B Receptors: Baclofen works by activating a type of receptor in your brain and spinal cord known as GABA-B receptors. These receptors play a crucial role in controlling muscle movement.
Inhibition of Excitatory Neurotransmitters: By activating GABA-B receptors, Baclofen inhibits the release of certain chemicals in the brain and spinal cord that would normally cause muscle spasms and rigidity.
Reduction of Muscle Spasticity: The overall effect is a reduction in muscle spasticity, allowing the muscles to relax while still maintaining muscle tone and voluntary movements.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Baclof Liquid if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Baclof Liquid does pass into breast milk. Therefore, if you are nursing, it is important to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Alcohol

Alcohol can increase the drowsiness and sedation caused by Baclof Liquid. It's wise to avoid alcohol while taking this medicine.

Liver

If you have liver problems, caution is advised while taking Baclof Liquid. This medicine might affect liver function; therefore, it is crucial to discuss this with your doctor.

Kidney

Patients with renal issues should use Baclof Liquid carefully as they may be more prone to its side effects. Ensure that you discuss your kidney health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

As Baclof Liquid can cause drowsiness and sedation, caution is advised when driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

Baclof Liquid is contraindicated for those with a known hypersensitivity to baclofen. If you have any allergies, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Children

Baclof Liquid is not recommended for children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Baclof Liquid under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
