Advice on Diet and Lifestyle

Regular exercise stretches muscles, reducing their propensity to spasm, tear, or sprain. Light activities, such as running and walking, can be used to stretch muscles.

Massages are also advantageous.

The extremes of cold and heat should be avoided.

Instead of tight-fitting clothing, wear loose-fitting clothing.

Get sufficient rest and sleep.

Change your position at least once every two hours to prevent pressure ulcers.

It is possible to treat muscle spasms with either hot or cold therapy. Apply an ice pack or a heat pack to the muscle for 15 to 20 minutes.

Consume plenty of water to maintain hydration.

Concerns of Patients

Muscular spasms are abrupt, painful, and unpleasant involuntary muscle contractions. When nerve signals that control muscle action are disturbed or stopped, muscular spasms can occur. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, abnormal posture, difficulty moving, and pain in the affected muscles and joints. Fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, illness, and tight clothes can all provoke muscle spasms. Muscle spasms are treatable with muscle relaxants and physical activity. Muscular relaxants aid in muscle relaxation and prevent painful spasms. Stretching muscles during exercise reduces their propensity to spasm, tear, or sprain.

FAQs

Muscle relaxants are the class of medications to which BACLOFEN belongs. It functions by inhibiting spinal reflexes, so lowering pain and increasing muscle movement. BACLOFEN acts on the spinal cord and brain’s centers, enhancing muscle strength and alleviating spasms and stiffness.

BACLOFEN makes you sleepy and drowsy. Don’t drive or operate machinery if you’re sleepy or drowsy, and only drive when you’re alert.

Children should not use BACLOFEN unless prescribed by a physician. Children under the age of four or who weigh less than 33 kilos should not receive BACLOFEN.

Dry mouth is a potential adverse effect of BACLOFEN. Caffeine restriction, avoiding tobacco and mouthwashes containing alcohol, consuming copious amounts of water, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy may all boost saliva production and prevent mouth drying.

Do not stop taking BACLOFEN without first consulting your doctor. Stopping BACLOFEN abruptly may result in muscle rigidity, elevated heart rate, mood changes, fever, mental issues, confusion, hallucinations, and convulsions (seizures). If you experience any difficulties while using LIOFEN XL 20 MG TABLET, inform your doctor; he or she will gradually reduce your dose.

When muscular tone is required for safe balance and movement during specific activities, LIOFEN XL 20 MG TABLET should not be used.
