Baclotab 25 mg Tablet

Baclotab 25 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 25 mg of baclofen in each tablet. Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant used to help reduce muscle tightness, stiffness, and spasms. This Baclotab 25 mg Tablet is commonly prescribed for spasticity related to conditions affecting the brain or spinal cord, and it may also be used when a doctor wants stronger spasm relief in a tablet form.

How it works: Baclofen works on the central nervous system to calm overactive nerve signals that trigger muscle tightness and spasms. In tablet form, Baclotab 25 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed to help relax muscles and improve movement or comfort over time.

Baclotab 25 mg Tablet is a higher-strength baclofen tablet, so it is generally suited for people whose symptoms need more than a low-dose option. Because 25 mg per tablet is a relatively strong dose, a doctor may choose it for patients who already tolerate baclofen well or who need a stronger, less frequent tablet regimen. It is not meant to be started or adjusted on your own.
