Baclofen? Baclofin is a common misspelling of baclofen.

Baclofen (Lioresal^®) is a medication commonly prescribed to treat spasticity. In particular, it can help treat spasticity caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury or disease, or cerebral palsy. This medication comes in tablet form or as an intrathecal injection (which pumps the medication directly into the spinal cord). Although it is not exactly clear how baclofen works, it may help inhibit nerve signals. A few of the common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and weakness.
