Maxolax Tablet 5 mg contains Baclofen, a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to relieve muscle spasticity caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or neurological disorders. Baclofen works by acting on the central nervous system, reducing the transmission of nerve signals that cause muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain.

Maxolax Tablet 5 mg helps improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and enhance the quality of life for patients experiencing spastic muscle conditions. It is commonly used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan including physiotherapy and other supportive therapies.

Baclofen is a GABA-B receptor agonist that:
