Baclofen (brand names Kemstro and Lioresal ) is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) primarily used to treat spasticity .
It is an agonist specific to mammalian but not fruit fly (Drosophila) GABA B receptors . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Its beneficial effects result from actions at spinal and supraspinal sites. Baclofen can also be used to treat hiccups . It has been shown to prevent rises in body temperature induced from the drug MDMA in rats. [ 3 ] A very beneficial property of baclofen is that tolerance does not seem to occur to any significant degree in that baclofen retains its therapeutic anti-spasmodic effects even after many years of chronic use. [ 4 ]
