Description
Product Information:
Carisoprodol 350 mg, also marketed as Soma 350mg, is a prescription medication used to treat short-term muscle pain and discomfort, typically in combination with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments. This Soma tab works by affecting the communication between nerves in the central nervous system to help reduce pain and stiffness in muscles.
The carisoprodol dosage typically prescribed is one 350 mg tablet taken three times a day and at bedtime. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions exactly. While some may wonder, “Can I take 2 Soma at once?” — this is not recommended unless directed by a medical professional, as taking more than the prescribed dose can increase the risk of side effects or dependency.
Carisoprodol is fast-acting and begins to work within 30 minutes, providing muscle relaxation for 4 to 6 hours. It is generally prescribed for short-term use (2 to 3 weeks), as long-term use has not been proven effective and may lead to dependency or abuse.
Uses of Carisoprodol 350 mg:
- Acute musculoskeletal pain
- Muscle spasms
- Muscle injuries (in conjunction with rest and therapy)
Common Carisoprodol Side Effects:
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Irritability or nervousness
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe side effects such as fainting, confusion, vision changes, or trouble breathing.
How to Use Carisoprodol Tablet:
Take this medicine in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Swallow the carisoprodol pill whole without crushing or chewing it. You may take it with or without food, but maintaining a consistent schedule helps ensure the best results. Avoid alcohol and limit activities requiring alertness, such as driving, due to the sedative effects of Soma.
How Carisoprodol Works:
Carisoprodol (Soma) is a centrally-acting skeletal muscle relaxant. It works by blocking pain signals between the nerves and the brain, helping the muscles to relax. It does not directly relax tense muscles but instead produces an overall sedative effect to reduce muscle discomfort.
