Flexibac Tablet contains Baclofen 25 mg, a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to relieve muscle spasticity, stiffness, and painful muscle spasms. It acts on the spinal cord and brain to reduce excessive muscle tone, improving mobility and reducing discomfort in conditions associated with neurological or musculoskeletal disorders.

Baclofen is commonly prescribed for patients with spasticity due to conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and other neurological diseases.
