Soma is a prescription medication that is taken for relaxing muscles, thereby relieving pain from the muscle spasms.  It is taken as short-term treatment for a time period extending up to three weeks. To effectively treat acute muscle pain and associated discomfort, order soma online.

Interaction of soma with other Drugs

The sedative effects of this medication along with other CNS depressants such as benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol and opioids can be additive. Thus, care should be taken in patients who simultaneously ingest more than one CNS depressant.  Simultaneous use of meprobamate, a metabolite of soma and the soma drug must be strictly avoided.

Carisoprodol, the primary ingredient in soma, gets metabolized by CYP2C19 in the liver to form meprobamate. Co-administration of CYP2C19 inhibitors, for example, fluvoxamine or omeprazole with soma may cause reduced exposure of meprobamate and greater exposure of carisoprodol.  On the other hand, co-administration of CYP2C19 inducers, for example, St. John’s wort or rifampin with this medication may lead to greater exposure of meprobamate and reduced exposure of carisoprodol. Low dose of aspirin is also a CYP2C19 inducer.

Drug Abuse

Carisoprodol, marketed under the brand name soma, is a schedule four controlled substance.  Abuse of this drug may lead to overdose, ultimately causing death, low blood pressure, central nervous system and respiratory depression, seizures and also other disorders. Individuals who are ingesting soma for a long period of time, those who are taking this drug along with other abused medications or who have a history of drug abuse face a greater risk of soma abuse.
