What is Lioresal 25mg Tablet?

Lioresal 25mg is a central acting skeletal muscle relaxant, which is used in the treatment of muscle spasms in nerve-damaged or neurological conditions. The active component, Baclofen is similar in effect, imitating natural inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain in order to suppress nerve activity that results in muscle contraction.

Lioresal does not just alleviate pain and fatigue related to spasticity; it also enhances muscle tone and movement and improves flexibility by restoring the balance between nerve activity and muscle tone.

Loresal 25mg Tablets are manufactured by Novartis, one of the most respected pharmaceutical firms in the world and hence, Lioresal 25mg Tablets are the highest standards in terms of safety, purity, and effectiveness and they follow the international standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

How Does Lioresal 25mg Work?

Baclofen acts on the GABA-B receptors of the spinal cord. The receptors are very important in relaying nerve impulses, which control muscle tone. On binding to these receptors, Baclofen inhibits the over-release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate and aspartate.

This inhibition has the effect of slowing down the hyperactivity of motor neurons, thereby creating more controlled muscle movements. In simpler words, Lioresal 25mg aids the nerves to relax, and the muscles relax on their own means and do not affecting the general alertness and coordination.

The mechanism is useful in neurological diseases and also for symptomatic relief of painful muscle contractions in spinal or brain traumas.

General Medicine uses Lioresal 25mg

Physicians typically prescribe Lioresal 25mg to treat a large variety of neurological and muscular diseases with spasticity or rigidity, including:

• Multiple sclerosis (MS) – to relieve muscle tension and spasms.
• Spinal cord injuries or diseases – To enhance the flexibility and mobility of the limbs.
• Cerebral palsy and brain trauma – to decrease the involuntary muscle contractions.
• Stroke recovery – to recover normal motor control and muscle functioning.
• Meningitis and motor neuron diseases – where motor neuron diseases restrict the day to day activity.

Lioresal is also used off-label for medical supervision of conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, or chronic back pain, in which abnormal nerve impulses are suspected.

Lioresal 25mg vs. Other Muscle Relaxants.

There are several muscle relaxants in the market, including Tizanidine (Zanaflex), Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) and Methocarbamol (Robaxin), but Lioresal 25mg (Baclofen) has the specific mode of action on spinal GABA receptors and, therefore, provides a more selective mode of action in chronic neurological spasticity.

• Lioresal is longer acting than Tizanidine and less sedating with the appropriate dosage.
• It has less dependency and cognitive dulling as compared to Diazepam.
• It also acts on the cause of stiffness instead of just covering pain as compared to the non-prescription relaxants.

This predisposes Lioresal 25mg by Novartis as one of the most desired choices of patients who need long-term control of muscles with minimal side effects in the world.

Dosage and Administration

Lioresal 25mg Tablet 25mg dosage should be adjusted according to the medical state of the patient, their response and tolerability.

Treatment is usually started with a low dose e.g. 5mg of one three times a day, which can be gradually increased after every 3 days under medical supervision. When optimum response is attained, the maintenance dose normally falls within a range of 20mg to 25mg thrice daily.

Severe cases may also increase the volume of the daily dose to 100mg, but this is not allowed unless under the supervision of specialists.

Take the Lioresal 25mg Tablet as a whole in the presence of a glass of water, best when taken with either food or milk to lessen the possibility of stomach upsets. One should take the doses at regular intervals of about 8 hours to ensure that there is a constant amount of medication in your body.

Patients who have been long term users of Lioresal 25mg should not abruptly discontinue the medication because in sudden withdrawal, there is a likelihood of anxiety, hallucinations, seizures or a recurrence of muscle stiffness. Rather, a slow dose reduction should be done over 1-2 weeks with medical recommendations.

Lioresal 25mg Side Effects

Lioresal 25mg is generally well-tolerated as per the prescribed dosage. But there are also slight or temporary side effects, which are caused when the body adapts to the medicine.

Common effects may include:

• Drowsiness or dizziness
• Nausea, stomach, or constipation.
• Muscle weakness or fatigue
• Headache or insomnia.

These symptoms normally disappear with continued usage or a dose change.

• Shortness of breath, chest pain, or excessive weakness.
• Hallucinations, excessive drowsiness or disorientation.
• Epileptic seizures or involuntary muscle movements.
• Face, lips or tongue swelling (indication of allergy).

Precautions and Warnings

1. Going to use Lioresal 25mg, then make your doctor aware of your medical history of kidney or liver disease, epilepsy, stroke, mental health, or Parkinson disease. Such conditions can cause an increase in sedation or coordination issues with Baclofen.

3. Lioresal should be taken during the time of pregnancy or breastfeeding only when it is evidently necessary and prescribed by a doctor. Although Baclofen is excreted in small quantities in breast milk, it is usually regarded as safe when used with close attention.
4. Do not use Liorexal 25mg with other sedatives, painkillers, or antidepressants without the consent of your medical practitioner, since this may lead to excessive sedation or respiratory depression.
5. In case of any missed dose and/or sudden onset of symptoms, you should discuss with your physician before proceeding or changing the treatment.
