Soma (carisoprodol)

Soma (generic name - Carisoprodol) is a muscle relaxant. It is typically prescribed for use, along with rest, physical therapy and other measures, for the relief of acute, painful muscle spams, strains, injuries and other painful muscular conditions. It may be used for purposes other than described above, but that would be rare, and not the norm.

Other important Soma information
By taking Soma alone, your muscles will not heal fully. Once prescribed Soma, you need also to follow the program of rest, physical therapy, or exercise that your doctor has prescribed along with the drug. Never attempt any more physical activity than the doctor has recommeded.

Additionally, Soma may cause dizziness or drowsiness, so exercise great caution if you are driving, operating machinery or performing other hazardous activities while taking Soma. This goes also for drinking alcohol while taking Soma.

Internationally you should be able to buy Soma under several different brand names. Carisoprodol is of course its generic name, and throughout the USA, Soma can also be had under the brand names Caridolin, Flexartal, Chinchen, Neotica, Rotalin, Rela and Scutamil-C. Internationally, you may be able to buy Soma under the following brand names - Artifar (Greece), Carisoma (England & India), Myolax (Thailand) and Somadril (Denmark, Sweden and Norway).
