Overview Bacfen Tablet

Baclofen tablets alleviate muscle spasms. This medication treats muscle rigidity, tension, and stiffness stemming from conditions like cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, or head, brain, or spinal injuries. Baclofen can be administered with food. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration necessary to manage symptoms. Consistent daily use is recommended; missed doses reduce efficacy. Common side effects include tiredness, weakness, sleepiness, and lightheadedness. Persistent or worsening side effects require medical attention; your physician may offer strategies for mitigation.
