Understanding spasticity

Spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Spasticity is a tightness or stiffness of the muscles that help people to stand and balance in an upright position. These muscles may be in the legs, groin, and buttocks. Some people may have spasticity in their backs.1
Spasticity in MS happens when there is damage to the myelin—the protective coating covering the nerves of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves control movement. Mild spasticity may not be painful. But spasticity can become painful when it is more severe. Spasticity can also make it hard to perform daily activities because of discomfort or difficulty moving.1

Spasticity in Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Spasticity in SCI happens when the flow of signals between the brain and spinal cord is broken. In a normal response, information travels from the spinal cord to the brain. The brain receives the signal and sends commands back through the spinal cord to tell the body what to do. A reaction like jerking away from something hot is a reflex, and it happens automatically. In SCI, the signal can’t reach the brain. It goes back to the spinal cord and the reflex is a muscle spasm.2
Symptoms are similar to the symptoms for MS.
They can include2:

  • Sudden bending or straightening of limbs or jerking of muscles
  • Muscle spasms
  • Stiffness or tight muscles at rest or during activity that makes it hard to relax or to control movements

Understanding dysphagia

If you have spasticity, you may also have dysphagia—any difficulty in swallowing.4 This may affect swallowing food and also medicine like pills or capsules. Dysphagia may happen in different areas—when you first feel something in your mouth, move it around in your mouth or actually try to swallow.5

Taking FLEQSUVY®

FLEQSUVY® is a liquid form of baclofen. It contains 25 mg per 5 mL—or 5 mg/mL—of baclofen as an orange- to yellow-colored, grape-flavored liquid. Because FLEQSUVY® is a suspension, you need to shake the bottle thoroughly to make sure all of the baclofen particles are equally spread out throughout the liquid. This will ensure that you are taking the right amount of medication.

  • Your doctor will decide how much FLEQSUVY® you need to take. FLEQSUVY® is a medicine where you start at a lower amount and your dose is slowly increased until you take the amount of medicine your doctor tells you to take
  • You can take FLEQSUVY® with or without food
  • FLEQSUVY® does not have to be refrigerated or kept cold. Keep FLEQSUVY® at room temperature
  • You must throw away the bottle 2 months after opening it—even if there is medicine left inside

Tips to help you manage your spasticity

  • Let your doctor know how you are feeling about your spasticity and about your medicine
  • Understanding your condition is important. Work with your doctor to answer any questions or concerns you may have
  • If you don’t understand what the doctor is telling you, say so. You may need more help to understand
  • It is important to take your medicine as your doctor tells you to

Pharmacists can provide useful information and support. They can:

  • Provide a measuring device that you can use to measure your medicine as your doctor tells you to
  • Explain what your medicine is for and answer questions you have on how to take it
