Soma

About:

Soma is used, along with rest, physical therapy, and other measures, for the relief of acute, painful muscle strains and spasms.

Soma alone will not heal your muscles. You need to follow the program of physical therapy, rest, or exercise that your doctor prescribes. Do not attempt any more physical activity than your doctor recommends, even though Soma temporarily makes it seem feasible.

How Taken:

Take Soma exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you have a history of drug dependence, make sure your doctor is aware of it before you start taking Soma.

Missed Dose:

Take it as soon as you remember if only an hour or so has passed. If you do not remember until later, skip the dose you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Overdose:

A severe overdose of Soma can be fatal. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical help immediately. Symptoms of Soma overdose may include: breathing difficulty, coma, shock, stupor

Storage:

Store at room temperature in a tightly closed container.

Side Efeects:

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Soma.

More common side effects may include: agitation, depression, dizziness, drowsiness, facial flushing, fainting, headache, hiccups, inability to fall or stay asleep, irritability, light-headedness upon standing up, loss of coordination, nausea, rapid heart rate, stomach upset, tremors, vertigo, vomiting.

Allergic reactions usually seen between the first and fourth doses of Soma in patients who have never taken Soma before include: itching, red welts on the skin, and skin rash.

A more severe allergic reaction may include symptoms such as asthmatic attacks, dizziness, fever, low blood pressure, shock, stinging of the eyes, swelling due to fluid retention, and weakness.
