Step 01When you insert the baclofen suppository, it begins to dissolve and release the active medication. The rich network of blood vessels in the rectal area allows the baclofen to be absorbed directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for efficient delivery.
Step 02Once absorbed, baclofen travels through your bloodstream to reach your central nervous system, particularly your spinal cord. There, it acts as a muscle relaxant by binding to specific receptors called GABA-B receptors, which are responsible for controlling nerve activity and muscle tension.
Step 03By activating GABA-B receptors, baclofen reduces the excessive nerve signals that cause muscle spasms and stiffness. This calming effect on your nervous system helps your muscles relax, decreases involuntary contractions, and improves your ability to move more comfortably throughout the day.
