Uses of Soma
The drug Soma is the brand name of the generic drug Carisoprodol. It is a medication that is used for musculoskeletal pain occurring in the human body.
The use of Soma or Carisoprodol is approved only for up to a period of three to four weeks. The effect of Soma begins within an hour or so and may last up to 5-6 hours.
It is to be kept in mind that you cannot take Soma single-handedly. This medication is supposedly taken along with proper rest and physical therapy. As said above, it acts upon the pain or injury in the skeletal muscle of a person.
The patient should take this drug only for a short period of time. It is so because there is no evidence that the drug stays effective after a certain time. Generally, these injuries get recovered within a short duration.
