✅ Description:

Flexibac 5mg Tablet is a type of medicine known as a muscle relaxant, which helps to reduce muscle spasms that occur in various illnesses.

It also helps to maintain muscle strength and reduce muscle stiffness by acting on the spinal cord and brain.

✔️ Indication

Flexibac 5mg Tablet is used in treating the symptoms of muscle spasticity (stiffness and tightness) that may be due to multiple sclerosis (a disease affecting the brain or spinal cord), any injury of the brain or spine, any diseases of the spinal cord, etc.

✔️ Pharmacology

Baclofen is a medication that works by activating GABAB receptors in the spinal cord. This activation leads to the inhibition of the release of certain neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and aspartate. By reducing the release of these excitatory neurotransmitters, baclofen helps to modulate the transmission of nerve signals in the spinal cord.

Baclofen's primary mechanism of action involves reducing both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes. Monosynaptic reflexes are rapid and automatic responses of the nervous system, while polysynaptic reflexes involve multiple synaptic connections. By inhibiting these reflexes, baclofen can help to reduce muscle spasticity, rigidity, and tension.

Furthermore, baclofen can cause central nervous system depression by acting on intraspinal sites. This depression can lead to sedation and muscle relaxation, contributing to the medication's therapeutic effects.

Additionally, baclofen has been found to possess pain-relieving properties. It may help to alleviate certain types of pain, particularly those associated with muscle spasticity or conditions affecting the nervous system.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Flexibac 5mg Tablet
  • The recommended adult oral dose for spasticity is to start with 5 mg three times daily for three days, then increase to 10mg three times daily for another three days. The dosage may then be increased gradually at similar intervals until the desired effect is achieved or up to a maximum of 80 mg per day. The elderly should initiate with lower doses.
  • For children with spasticity, the oral dose is 0.75-2 mg/kg daily. The initial dose may be 2.5 mg four times daily, increased gradually every three days until the desired effect is achieved. The maintenance dose is 30-60 mg daily for 6-10-year-olds, 20-30 mg daily for 2-6-year-olds, and 10-20 mg daily for children aged 12 months to 2 years. The maximum dose for children over 10 years old is 2.5 mg/kg daily.
  • Dose reduction may be necessary for individuals with renal impairment.
