Soma is a brand name for the generic medication carisoprodol. It is a prescription muscle relaxant used to relieve muscle pain, spasms, and discomfort associated with musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. Carisoprodol works by affecting the central nervous system to relax the muscles and alleviate pain.
Soma is typically prescribed for short-term use as an adjunct to rest, physical therapy, and other measures to help manage muscle-related pain and discomfort. It is important to use Soma only as prescribed by a healthcare professional and to follow their recommendations closely.
