Baclosign (Baclofen) is centrally acting muscle relaxant. It works by blocking the activity of brain nerves that control the relaxation of skeletal muscle. It is used for the treatment of spastic movement disorders, especially in instances of spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis. Baclosan retains its therapeutic anti-spasmodic effects even after many years of continued use.

DESCRIPTION
Baclosan is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid; GABA-receptor agonist. It depresses mono- and polysynaptic neurotransmission by reducing excitability of afferent neurons and intervening neurons; reduces skeletal muscle tone. Baclosan does not affect the neurotransmission in the nerve-muscle synapses. Treatment by Baclosan eases painful spasms and tonic-clonic convulsions associated with neurological diseases accompanied by spastic muscle tone. It increases joint movements and helps to conduct active and passive kinesitherapy (manual therapy, exercise programs, massage). Further read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baclofen
