Soma Common Medical Uses:
Soma, a muscle relaxant, is used with rest, physical therapy, and other measures to relax muscles and relieve pain and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, and other muscle injuries. Muscle relaxers are for specific muscle injury and pain and should not be used for general body aches and pains. Soma works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain.

How to Take Soma:
Take the medication exactly as directed by your doctor. Soma comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken three times daily and at bedtime. As Soma may cause an upset stomach, take the drug with food or milk.This medication must be used in addition to rest, physical therapy and other measures. Do not take more or less medication than prescribed and follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
