Lioresal® is a combination drug that contains Baclofen and Lioresal®, which is used to treat muscle spasticity.
When a patient takes Lioresal® and another muscle relaxant, such as baclofen, their body releases a small amount of Baclofen into the muscle. This medication is then able to be injected into the muscles.
Baclofen can cause the body to release a muscle relaxant that is used to treat muscle spasticity, pain, and stiffness caused by multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other spinal cord diseases.
Lioresal® is not effective in treating muscle spasticity caused by a multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury.
Lioresal® and baclofen can help relieve muscle spasticity, pain, or stiffness in the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body caused by multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other spinal cord diseases. When a patient has difficulty controlling pain and stiffness, or when the pain is caused by other conditions, the doctor may recommend medication.

Baclofen, a muscle relaxant, has been associated with an increased risk of stroke, transient ischemic cerebrovascular events (TICs), and cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between baclofen use and other potential risk factors for TICs, including hypertension, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. We also sought to examine the association between baclofen use and other risk factors for TICs.
This was a retrospective cohort study of patients treated with baclofen for up to 14 years. The study included all patients who had been treated with oral baclofen for at least 14 consecutive days (including baclofen and placebo). This study included only patients with a prior stroke, TIC, or TIA who were treated with a placebo, or had hypertension. Patients who were treated with baclofen for more than 14 consecutive days or those who were treated with placebo at least once a month were excluded from the study.
A total of 4,732 patients (2,051 males and 1,062 females) were treated with baclofen between 2007 and 2009. Of these, 4,732 patients were prescribed baclofen to treat at least two of the following conditions: hypertension (2,061 patients), heart failure (2,061 patients), and stroke (2,061 patients). The most common indications of baclofen use for these conditions were hypertension (n = 2,061), hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease (n = 2,061), and angina (n = 2,061).
The mean age of the study population was 51.3±8.4 years (range, 21–83 years). Patients were categorized into two groups based on the diagnosis of hypertension (hypertension: N = 5,062; hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease [n = 2,061]; hypertension associated with heart failure (n = 2,061; stroke)
.)The mean duration of treatment was 7.3±6.2 weeks for baclofen treatment, and for placebo treatment. The mean duration of treatment with baclofen was 6.2±2.6 weeks. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of hypertension, hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease, and hypertension associated with heart failure.
Of the 4,732 patients, 3,842 patients (0.5%) were prescribed baclofen for at least 14 consecutive days (including baclofen and placebo), and 2,061 patients (0.5%) were prescribed a placebo.
Of the 4,732 patients, 4,732 (3.3%) were prescribed a baclofen to treat at least two of the following conditions: hypertension (N= 1,061; hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease [n = 2,061]; hypertension associated with heart failure [n = 2,061]; stroke) and angina (N= 2,061; stroke).
Patients were classified into two groups based on their diagnosis of hypertension (hypertension: N= 1,061; hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease [n = 2,061]; hypertension associated with heart failure [n = 2,061]; stroke) or hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease (n = 1,061; hypertension associated with heart failure [n = 2,061]; stroke).
A total of 4,732 patients (2.2%) were prescribed a placebo. Of these, 2,061 patients (0.8%) were prescribed a baclofen to treat at least two of the following conditions: hypertension (N= 1,061; hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease [n = 2,061]; hypertension associated with heart failure [n = 2,061]; stroke), hypertension associated with heart failure (n = 1,061; hypertension associated with heart failure [n = 1,061]; stroke), and hypertension associated with heart failure (n = 1,061; hypertension associated with heart failure [n = 1,061]; stroke).
Among the 4,732 patients, 4,732 (3.3%) were prescribed a placebo, and 2,061 (0.5%) were prescribed a baclofen to treat at least two of the following conditions: hypertension (N= 1,061; hypertension associated with cardiovascular disease [n = 2,061]; hypertension associated with heart failure [n = 2,061]; stroke) and angina (N= 2,061; stroke).
The mean duration of treatment with baclofen was 4.6±3.2 weeks.
