Soma

Soma is the brand name for carisoprodol, a medication used to alleviate pain and soreness in the muscles. It functions by preventing pain signals from traveling from the nerves to the brain. Usually given as a short-term remedy, Soma is frequently used in conjunction with physical therapy, rest, or other therapies. Headache, lightheadedness, and sleepiness are common adverse effects. Soma should only be taken as directed by a healthcare professional due to the possibility of abuse and dependence.
