Pharmacological action

Centrally acting muscle relaxant; GABAB-receptor agonist. Reducing the excitability of the terminal divisions of the afferent sensory fibers and suppressing the intermediate neurons, depresses mono-and polysynaptic transmission of nerve impulses, reduces the prestressing muscle spindles. Does not affect the transmission of impulses in the nerve-muscle synapses.

In neurological diseases involving skeletal muscle spasticity, reduces the painful spasms and clonic convulsions. Increases the amount of movement in joints, facilitates active and passive kinesitherapy (exercise, massage, chiropractic).

Breeding

Excreted in the urine, mainly unchanged.
