Why is Lioresal prescribed?

Baclofen, with brand name Lioresal, is used to manage muscle pain and spasms in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other spinal cord diseases. Multiple sclerosis is a condition wherein the body’s own immune system attacks the protective covering (myelin) of the nerves. This causes problems in communication between the brain and the body.
