Therapeutic Uses of Lioresal Lioresal is an analog of GABA and works on the same lines, inhibiting the conduction of nerve impulses between the nerves and to the muscles. Conduction of nerve impulse to the muscle results in muscle contraction. Upon intake of Lioresal, inhibition of nerve impulse conduction from the spinal cord to the muscle leads to muscle relaxation. Lioresal can be used in clinical conditions for control of pain and relief of muscle [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses and mechanism of action of Lioresal as follows: Nerve impulses travel from the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) along the nerves to the muscles. Upon conduction to the muscles, these impulses cause the muscle to contract. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are synthesized in the nervous system and help the nerve cells to communicate with each other in conducting or inhibiting the nerve impulse. These chemicals can [...]
Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking lorzone as follows: Lorzone only helps with relieving muscle spasms, probably by depressing the brain and inhibiting the conduction of nerve impulses from the brain to the skeletal muscles. Lorzone only temporarily relieves the spasms but does not fix the actual condition causing the muscle spasms and so, is not a permanent cure. Continue taking lorzone as ordered, even if you experience relief from muscle [...]
Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking lorzone as follows: Lorzone use can also result in fast and pounding heartbeat. Individuals with history of cardiac arrhythmias can be at increased risk for precipitation of arrhythmic episodes with lorzone use and must be increasingly watchful to report worsening symptoms of arrhythmias, such as, chest pain, low blood pressure, confusion, dizziness, increasing shortness of breath, and worsening fatigue. Hypotension and irregular heartbeat, secondary to [...]
