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.
