Description

Soma (generic name: carisoprodol; brand names include: Carimax / Sanoma / Carisoma) is a muscle relaxant used to treat pain caused by muscle spasms.

It is indicated as an adjunct to rest, physical therapy, and other measures for the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions in patients 12 years of age and above.

Soma works to relax the muscles by blocking pain messages sent to the brain. The ingredient Carisoprodol is a pain reliever that changes the way a body senses pain. The onset of action is rapid and lasts four to six hours.

Soma is useful against various types of pain (whether or not related to muscle spasm).

Soma may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
