Uses of Soma
Soma is used, along with rest and physical therapy, to treat injuries and
other painful muscular conditions.
Soma Directions
Take Soma exactly as directed by your doctor.
If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or
doctor to explain them to you. Take each dose with a full glass of water.
Soma Side Effects
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking
Soma and seek emergency medical attention: an allergic reaction (difficulty
breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face;
or hives); paralysis (loss of feeling) or extreme weakness; vision loss;
agitation or tremor; red, black, or bloody stools; or blood in your vomit.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.
Continue to take Soma and talk to your doctor if you experience: drowsiness
or dizziness; headache; depression; blurred vision or small pupils; insomnia;
hiccups; faint ringing in the ears; or nausea, vomiting, or constipation.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your
physician about any side effect that seems unusual or that is
especially bothersome.
Soma Precautions
Do not take Soma if you have acute intermittent porphyria. Before taking Soma, tell your doctor if you have
any of the following: kidney disease, liver disease, an ulcer in your stomach
or intestines, a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder, urinary retention,
an enlarged prostate, hypothyroidism, a head injury, or Addison's disease.
It is not known whether Soma will harm an unborn baby.
Do not take Soma without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.
It is also not known whether aspirin and Soma pass into breast milk. Do not
take aspirin and Soma without first talking to your doctor if you are
breast-feeding a baby. Soma is not approved for use in children younger
than 12 years of age.
Soma Drug Interactions
Many drugs can increase the effects of Soma and lead to heavy sedation.
Before taking Soma, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following
medicines: antihistamines such as brompheniramine (Dimetane, Bromfed, others),
chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton, Teldrin, others), azatadine (Optimine),
clemastine (Tavist), and many others; narcotics (pain killers) such as
meperidine (Demerol), morphine (MS Contin, MSIR, others), propoxyphene
(Darvon, Darvocet), hydrocodone (Lorcet, Vicodin), oxycodone (Percocet,
Percodan), fentanyl (Duragesic), and codeine (Fiorinal, Fioricet, Tylenol #3,
others); sedatives such as phenobarbital (Solfoton, Luminal), amobarbital
(Amytal), and secobarbital (Seconal); phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine
(Thorazine), fluphenazine (Prolixin), mesoridazine (Serentil),
perphenazine (Trilafon), prochlorperazine (Compazine), thioridazine
(Mellaril), and trifluoperazine (Stelazine); or antidepressants such as

fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), phenelzine
(Nardil), and tranylcypromine (Parnate). Aspirin will decrease the effects
of some drugs. Tell your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking Soma
if any of the following drugs have been prescribed for you: probenecid
(Benebid) and sulfinpyrazone (Anturane); angiotensin-converting-enzyme

and other heart conditions such as acebutolol (Sectral), metoprolol
(Lopressor), propranolol (Inderal), atenolol (Tenormin), and carteolol
(Cartrol). Other over-the-counter and prescription drugs may increase the
effects of aspirin and cause dangerous side effects:
oral anticoagulants such as warfarin (Coumadin); nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Rufen, others), ketoprofen
(Orudis, Oruvail), and naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, Aleve) other commonly used
NSAIDs, including diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam), etodolac (Lodine),
fenoprofen (Nalfon), flurbiprofen (Ansaid), indomethacin (Indocin),
ketorolac (Toradol), nabumetone (Relafen), oxaprozin (Daypro),
piroxicam (Feldene), sulindac (Clinoril), and tolmetin (Tolectin);
other salicylates (forms of aspirin) such as salsalate (Disalcid), choline
salicylate, and magnesium salicylate; bismuth subsalicylate in drugs such
as Pepto-Bismol; and calcium supplements and antacids. Other drugs that
should not be combined with aspirin and carisoprodol include steroids such
as prednisone (Deltasone), oral antidiabetic drugs such as glipizide
(Glucotrol) and glyburide (Micronase, Diabeta), alcohol, lithium (Lithobid,
Eskalith, others), and cyclosporine (Sandimmune). Drugs other than those
listed here may also interact with Soma. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist
before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
Missed Dose of Soma
Take the missed dose of Soma as soon as you remember. However, if it is
almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your
next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of Soma. Keep your
doses at least 4 hours apart from one another.
