About Baclof Strawberry Liquid

Baclof Strawberry Liquid is used to reduce and relieve muscle spasms (excessive tension in the muscles) occurring in various illnesses.

When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms.

Baclof Strawberry Liquid works on the spinal cord and brain thereby helping in maintaining muscle strength and relieving muscle spasms or stiffness. Thus Baclof Strawberry Liquid reduces muscle spasm in the conditions of multiple sclerosis (a disorder which affects the brain and spinal cord), cerebrovascular accidents (damage to the brain due to lack of blood supply), cerebral palsy (a disorder of movement, posture and muscle tone), spinal cord diseases and other nervous system disorders.
