Carisoprodol benefits and action
The Carisoprodol is a popular muscle relaxer that is approved by the FDA for helping with short-term acute pain. It is popularly known as Soma and is the brand version of the analgesic. The use of the Soma muscle relaxer is commonly recommended for body pain occurring from factors such as-

The exact mode of action that is involved in the working and functioning of the analgesic is still unclear. It is believed to function by blocking the sensation of pain from the affected part of the body from reaching the brain receptor of the person. Thus the person is not able to experience the sensation of pain any longer. The Carisoprodol on reaching the body gets metabolized in the liver to form meprobamate. Both Carisoprodol and its metabolite are very effective in helping manage pain for 5 to 6 hours from a single dose of the analgesic. Depending on the pain severity and intensity one can take Soma bout 3 to 4 times a day.
