About Lioresal
Lioresal is the original brand of baclofen, a medication used to manage symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and spinal cord spasm. Supplied as a tablet in 10mg and 25mg strengths, this product is designed to aid those with muscle spasticity.
Buying Lioresal online
Lioresal is registered across 14 markets, including Japan, the UAE and Singapore, with availability also in Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia. As a reliable option for muscle management, it is one of the most ordered medications across the region. Generic baclofen, much of it made in India, is a far more affordable solution than the original brand for expats and patients far from a major pharmacy.
