Intrathecal Lioresal Intrathecal ( In-trah-THE-kal BAK-loe-fen) is used to help relax certain muscles in your body. It relieves the spasms, cramping, and tightness of muscles caused by medical problems such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or certain injuries to the spine. Intrathecal Lioresal Intrathecal does not cure these problems, but it may allow other treatment, such as physical therapy, to be more helpful in improving your condition. Intrathecal Lioresal Intrathecal acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to produce its muscle relaxant effects. Its actions on the CNS may also cause some of the medicine's side effects. Lioresal Intrathecal is delivered by a drug pump directly into the spinal fluid of your back. A doctor will surgically place the pump and monitor the dose of the medication that is delivered by the pump. The dose of intrathecal Lioresal Intrathecal will be different for different patients and will depend on the type of muscle tightness that you have. Intrathecal Lioresal Intrathecal is given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor. It is available in the following dosage form: Intrathecal Injection (U.S. and Canada)
