Lioresal 10 Tablet

Lioresal 10 Tablet contains baclofen 10 mg in each tablet. It is a prescription muscle relaxant and antispastic medicine used to help relieve muscle stiffness, spasms, and tightness caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord problems. Lioresal 10 Tablet is a higher-strength tablet that a doctor may choose when lower doses are not enough or when a patient needs careful dose adjustment. This Novartis, India tablet is taken by mouth and is part of pain-relief care when muscle spasm is driving discomfort.

How it works: Baclofen works in the central nervous system, where it helps reduce overactive nerve signals that cause muscle tightness and spasms. In tablet form, Lioresal 10 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then it acts on the spinal cord to help muscles relax.

Lioresal 10 Tablet provides baclofen 10 mg per tablet, which is stronger than the lower-dose tablet options and is not usually the first dose started in new patients. Because it is a stronger tablet, it may be chosen for people who have already tolerated baclofen or who need a step-up in symptom control under medical supervision. The exact dose and schedule are individualized so the medicine works with less risk of sleepiness or weakness.
