How It Works

GABA-B receptor agonist; inhibits monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at spinal level

Mechanism Steps

1Baclofen binds to GABA-B receptors on presynaptic terminals in the spinal cord
2Activation of GABA-B receptors inhibits calcium influx and reduces neurotransmitter release
3Decreased excitatory neurotransmitter release reduces monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflex activity
4Inhibition of spinal reflexes leads to reduced muscle tone and spasticity
