Understanding Carisoprodol (Soma)

Uses

This medication is amazing for certain injuries and the pain that they cause. Examples of this include ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendon strains! Many patients take this medication alongside a physical therapy routine so their injury heals faster! This medication allows the muscles to relax, which helps the body heal the injury more effectively. This type of injury takes a few weeks to heal. This is great, since patients cannot take carisoprodol for long periods!

Doctors also prescribe this medication to treat pain from broken bones and similar injuries. Once again, this is for a short period only! This medication is taken three times daily: in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Patients choose to take it with or without food.
