BRAND NAME: Soma. USES: Carisoprodol is used together with rest and physical therapy for the short-term relief of acute painful muscle and skeletal conditions in adults. It is only used for 2 to 3 weeks. Carisoprodol is not a controlled substance.
It is metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Carisoprodol is taken orally in pill or tablet form. It is frequently taken in combination with other drugs and alcohol to enhance its effects. Soma and Vicodin is a common combination as is Soma, Xanax and Vicodin. In 2006, the FDA required labeling changes to the package insert to stress the risk of abuse and dependence.
