Information
Lioresal Intrathecal is a prescription medication specifically designed for administration into the intrathecal space, which is the area surrounding the spinal cord. This medication contains baclofen as its active ingredient, which is a muscle relaxer and an antispastic agent. It is primarily used in the management of severe spasticity, a condition characterized by muscle stiffness and spasms, which can be a result of multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other neurological disorders. Lioresal Intrathecal works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle spasticity, thereby improving muscle movement and flexibility. It is administered through a pump that delivers the medication directly to the target area, ensuring effective relief from symptoms while minimizing systemic side effects. This form of treatment is often considered when oral medications do not provide adequate relief or cause intolerable side effects.
