Soma medication 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.

This medication may be taken with food or immediately after meals to prevent stomach upset.

Take as directed. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed.

Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of:

any liver or kidney disease

blood disorders

porphyria

asthma

any allergies

When rising quickly from a sitting or lying position, dizziness or lightheadedness may occur. Change positions slowly.

Use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness (such as driving) if this drug makes you dizzy or drowsy.

Limit alcohol intake while taking this medication.

This drug should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Carisoprodol is excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Soma may cause stomach upset, heartburn, headache, dizziness or drowsiness. If these symptoms persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.

Inform your doctor promptly if you develop: persistent stomach pain, rapid heart rate.

In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention.

Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered if it is within an hour or so. If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.
