How does baclofen work? The exact mechanism by which baclofen works to control spasticity is not known. However, it is known that baclofen inhibits nerve reflex signaling in the spine and other nerve sites. In studies with animals, baclofen has been shown to have a CNS depressant effect. In tablet form, baclofen is taken orally (by mouth).
These effects are likely mediated not by activation of the GABAB receptor, but rather by activation of the GHB receptor. Although baclofen does not produce euphoria or other reinforcing effects, which is unlike alcohol and benzodiazepines (as well as GHB), it does similarly possess sedative and anxiolytic properties.
