Baclofen USP For Compounding (API) (Rx)

Baclofen USP active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that is used to treat symptoms of spastic movement disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. It is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a role in regulating muscle tone. Baclofen works by binding to specific GABA receptors, reducing the activity of neurons that cause muscle spasms and stiffness. It is considered a safe and effective treatment, with minimal side effects, for spasticity.

Baclofen USP  is a muscle relaxant medication commonly used for the treatment of muscle spasticity due to conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or spinal cord injuries. It may also be prescribed for other conditions that cause muscle spasms such as chronic low back pain or migraines. Baclofen USP may be used for compounding, meaning it can be formulated into different dosage forms such as creams, ointments, gels, or transdermal patches, to meet specific patient needs or preferences. Compounding can also allow for customized strengths or combinations of medications, which may be beneficial for certain patients who may not respond well to commercially available products. However, it is important to note that the use of compounded medications should be discussed with a physician and only obtained from a reputable compounding pharmacy.
