Baclofen? Baclafen is a common misspelling of baclofen.
Baclofen (Lioresal®) is approved to treat spasticity caused by several conditions, including multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries or disease, or cerebral palsy. Although some people tolerate the medication well, it is not suitable for everyone. Before taking it, make sure to let your healthcare provider know about any other medical conditions you may have. For example, you may not be able to safely use baclofen if you have epilepsy, kidney disease, or any mental illness.
