Baclofen depresses monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflex transmission, probably by stimulating the GABAB-receptors. This stimulation in turn inhibits the release of the excitatory amino acids glutamate and aspartate. Neuromuscular transmission is unaffected by baclofen. Baclofen also exerts an antinociceptive effect. |
