What is Soma Compound?
Aspirin a pain reliever and fever reducer, in a group of drugs called salicylates. Aspirin works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to the brain.
Soma Compound is a combination medicine used short-term to treat painful muscular conditions.
Soma Compound may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

How should I take Soma Compound?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Never use Soma Compound in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Use the lowest dose that is effective in treating your condition.
Carisoprodol may be habit-forming. Never share Soma Compound with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.

Do not take Soma Compound for longer than 3 weeks. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks of treatment.
Do not stop using this medicine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using Soma Compound.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Carisoprodol is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call 115. An overdose of Soma Compound can be fatal.

Soma Compound may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Soma Compound will affect you. Dizziness or severe drowsiness can cause falls or other accidents.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cold, allergy, or pain medication. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or similar medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of this type of medication. Check the label to see if a medicine contains aspirin or other salicylate.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It can cause side effects and may increase your risk of stomach bleeding while taking Soma Compound.
