Helofen (Baclofen 10mg)

Helofen (Baclofen 10mg) is a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent used to treat muscle stiffness, spasms, and tightness caused by various neurological conditions. It works by acting on the central nervous system to relax muscles.

✅ Primary Uses of Helofen (Baclofen 10mg):

1. Spasticity from Multiple Sclerosis (MS):

   • Reduces muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain in MS patients.

2. Spinal Cord Injury or Disease:

   • Helps relieve involuntary muscle contractions and stiffness due to trauma or degenerative spinal conditions.

3. Cerebral Palsy (in some cases):

   • Used to ease muscle tightness and improve mobility in children and adults.

4. Stroke-related Spasticity:

   • Assists in controlling abnormal muscle tone and spasms following a stroke.

5. Alcohol Use Disorder (off-label use):

   • Sometimes prescribed to reduce alcohol cravings and withdrawal symptoms (still under research and specialist guidance).

🧠 How It Works:

Helofen (Baclofen 10mg) mimics gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve activity in the spinal cord, leading to reduced muscle tone and fewer spasms.
