๐ฟ What is Carisoprodol 500 mg (Pain-O-Soma)?
Pain-O-Soma contains Carisoprodol, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant. It is metabolized to meprobamate, which exerts sedative and anxiolytic effects. Carisoprodol interrupts neuronal communication in the reticular formation and spinal cord, resulting in muscle relaxation and relief of discomfort associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions. Due to its potential for sedation and dependence, Pain-O-Soma is indicated for short-term use (up to two to three weeks) as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy.
