Bacfen Xl 30mg Tab (Baclofen) works by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the spinal cord that cause muscle spasms. It is a GABA-B receptor agonist, which means it mimics the effects of the neurotransmitter GABA, inhibiting the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and reducing muscle spasticity.
Store Baclofen at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Dosage is determined by your doctor and varies based on your condition, age, and weight.
Baclofen is typically taken by mouth, but it can also be administered intravenously.
