Soma can help ease the pain...

If you suffer from pain and discomfort, Soma could be for you

If you think Soma is for you, apply for a prescription

What is Soma?

Soma is a muscle relaxant; it works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Soma is a prescription-only muscle relaxant used with rest, physical therapy, and other measures to relax muscles for people who have pain and discomfort associated with strains, sprains, spasms or other muscle injuries.

Uses of Soma

Soma relaxes muscles and relieves pain and discomfort associated with strains, sprains, spasms or other muscle injuries. Muscle relaxers are for specific muscle injury and pain and should not be used for general body aches and pains

How should Soma be used?

Soma comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken three times daily and at bedtime. It may be taken with or without food, but Soma may cause an upset stomach. If it does, take Soma with food or milk. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Soma exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

How does Soma work

Soma has both a muscle relaxant action and an analgesic action. It produces muscle relaxation by affecting the central nervous system. It is possible that Soma induced muscle relaxation results from a slight depression of all neurons at synaptic junctions within the central nervous system. It is noteworthy that Carisoprol has a marked depressant effect on hyperactive spinal reflexes in doses that do not affect normal reflexes. The pain-relieving properties of Soma are distinctive and in certain respects are different from the actions of either the opium alkaloids, or the antipyretic-analgesics such as aspirin and paracetamol. The analgesic action of any drug may be due to its effect on 1) peripheral pain receptors, or 2) the sensory pain pathways and their synapses, or 3) the centers concerned with pain receptors or sensory pain pathways and that it probably acts upon centers concerned with pain.

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Soma may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid these activities. Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking Soma. Also, in combination with Soma, alcohol can be very damaging to your stomach. Watch for bloody, black, or tarry stools or blood in your vomit. This could mean damage to your stomach. Never take more of Soma than is prescribed for you. If your pain is not being adequately treated, talk to your doctor.
