Skeletal muscle relaxants are
used in the relief of all pains
which are caused by sprains,
injuries to the muscles and
stiffness. The medication interacts

effects. The main ingredient
in Soma which is a skeletal
muscle relaxant is Carisoprodol.
Carisoprodol is a powder which
is fine & white in nature
and has a slight distinctive
odor and is bitter in taste.
Carisoprodol is highly soluble
alcohol, chloroform and acetone,
but very slightly in water;
the solubility of this ingredient
is totally independent of pH.
Some of the inactive ingredients
are: alginic acid, magnesium
stearate, potassium sorbate,
starch, tribasic etc.
Chemistry
of Soma
Soma is not for sale over the
counter and is meant for sale
only on the prescription of
a doctor. If you want to consume
Soma to help support pain relief,
than you will have to visit
a doctor and have a check up
with him. During this visit
s/he will ask you about medical
conditions and medicines that
are both past and present.
It is very important to tell
your doctor if you are allergic
to anything; this could be foods,
dyes or to certain medicines.
You should also inform the doctor
about any blood diseases that
were caused due to the consumption
of drugs or due to an allergy,
or if you are suffering from
Liver diseases, Kidney diseases,
Porphyria and Epilepsy. Your
doctor should also be informed
if you are taking medications
which interact with the central
nervous system, depressants,
tricyclic antidepressants,
You should not drink alcohol
while having these medications,
and medicines that interact
with the central nervous system
should also be avoided. Since
this medication slows down the
nervous system it is possible
that it can cause you to fell
drowsy, faint, lightheaded and
less alert than normal. Make
sure you know how the drug will
react on you before you can
drive, or work in places that
are hazardous and require your
full attention present at all
times.
