How to Use Soma
Take this medication orally with or without food, as advised by your doctor. Do not raise your dose or take this medication more frequently or for longer than recommended. Your condition will not improve any faster, and the likelihood of side effects will grow.
The dosage is determined by your medical condition and reaction to treatment. This drug should only be used for a short period of time (three weeks or less), unless directed by your doctor.
If you suddenly stop using this drug, you may experience withdrawal symptoms (such as stomach pains, difficulty sleeping, headaches, and nausea). To prevent withdrawal, your doctor may gradually reduce your dose. Withdrawal is more common if you’ve been using carisoprodol for a long time or in heavy doses. If you are experiencing withdrawal, contact your doctor or pharmacist right away.
Although this medicine benefits many people, it can occasionally lead to addiction. This risk may be increased if you have a substance use disorder (such as drug or alcohol abuse or addiction). Take this medication exactly as directed to reduce the risk of addiction. Contact your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Inform your doctor if your issue persists after two to three weeks, or if it gets worse.
