Crescent Baclofen 5mg/5ml Oral Solution (300ml)
Crescent Baclofen Oral Solution is a prescription-strength skeletal muscle relaxant manufactured by Crescent Pharma Limited (UK). It is specifically formulated for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets, such as those with chronic muscle stiffness or spasms.
Key Benefits & Uses
This medication contains Baclofen (5mg per 5ml), a centrally acting antispasmodic agent. It is primarily used to relieve:
- Severe muscle spasticity associated with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
- Muscle spasms resulting from spinal cord injuries or diseases.
- Muscle stiffness and cramping related to cerebral palsy or other neurological conditions.
Formulation & Flavor
- Form: Oral Solution (often referred to as Baclofen syrup).
- Flavor: Pleasant raspberry flavor.
- Dietary: Sugar-free formula, suitable for patients monitoring their sugar intake.
How it Works
Baclofen acts as a GABA-B receptor agonist. It works by decreasing the transmission of certain signals from the spinal cord to the muscles, thereby reducing the severity and frequency of muscle spasms and relieving pain associated with stiffness.
Dosage & Administration
Crescent Baclofen must be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually administered orally. Because the dosage varies based on the condition being treated and the patient's response, it is important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription.
Important Storage Information
Store your Crescent Baclofen solution below 25°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze the product. Once opened, any remaining solution should be discarded after 60 days.
