Skelofen Tablet 10 mg contains Baclofen, a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to treat spasticity caused by neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other disorders affecting muscle control. Baclofen works by reducing nerve signals in the spinal cord that cause excessive muscle contraction, leading to decreased stiffness, improved mobility, and relief from pain associated with muscle spasms.

Skelofen Tablet 10 mg is typically prescribed for patients who require a moderate therapeutic dose after assessing tolerance with lower doses. It helps enhance functional ability, reduce discomfort, and improve overall quality of life in individuals with chronic or acute muscle spasticity.

Indications

Skelofen Tablet 10 mg is indicated for:

• Muscle spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis

• Spasticity following spinal cord injury or lesions

• Neurological disorders causing involuntary muscle stiffness

• Relief of painful muscle spasms in musculoskeletal conditions under medical supervision

It is designed specifically for symptomatic relief of spasticity and is not intended for general pain management.

Mechanism of Action

Baclofen in Skelofen Tablet 10 mg is a GABA-B receptor agonist that acts on the central nervous system to:

• Inhibit excitatory neurotransmission in the spinal cord

• Reduce involuntary muscle contractions

• Decrease muscle stiffness and spasm-related pain

• Improve coordination and functional mobility

This mechanism provides both immediate relief of muscle spasms and long-term improvement in daily activities for patients with spasticity.

Dosage and Administration

• The typical adult dose is 10 mg, 2–3 times daily, but the exact dose is determined by the physician based on individual response and tolerability.

• Tablets should be taken orally with water, with or without food.

• Gradual dose adjustment is recommended to achieve optimal control while minimizing side effects.

• Abrupt discontinuation can cause rebound spasticity, hallucinations, or seizures, so the dose should be tapered under medical supervision.

• Dose adjustments may be needed for elderly patients or individuals with renal impairment.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use cautiously in patients with kidney dysfunction, epilepsy, or cardiovascular conditions.

• May cause drowsiness, dizziness, or muscle weakness; avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until the effect is known.

• Concomitant use of alcohol or CNS depressants may intensify sedation.

• Inform your healthcare provider about all other medications to avoid interactions.

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless clearly prescribed by a physician.
