Painful muscle spasms may appear unexpectedly. Nobodyisperfect. It is good when the muscle spasms appear in rare cases and do not bring a discomfort. But there are people who have high muscle tone, so that spasms may appear every day and cause many troubles. These people should take Soma.

Main information

Soma is a muscle relaxant of the central action. It relaxes the muscle tissue and reduces the frequency of the painful spasms by means of the action on the central nervous system. It contains an active ingredient Carisoprodol. This ingredient slows down spinal reflexes and a lability of synapse, so that the frequency of the electrical charge is reduced in neurons. In other words, Soma provides a sedative action on the nervous system, so that the nerve endings are not overstrained in the muscle tissues.

Soma not only relaxes the muscle tissue but also relieves the main symptoms accompanying the spasms. It provides a moderate pain-relieving effect and improves a motion activity of a human. If the muscle is not stretched during the muscle spasms, and loses its function, the use of Soma will regulate the work of the muscle tissue.

The use of Soma is useful during the muscle spasms of any origin: traumas, diseases of the central nervous system, neurological disorders, organic affections of the brain, excessive overstrain of the muscle tissue as a result of dewatering or excessive physical load, and others.

The use of Soma in high doses may cause a temporal loss of the motion activity. Due to the intensive relaxation of the muscle tissue, the muscles may lose elasticity. That is why, a physical activity should be decreased within the first 2-3 weeks of the treatment. Then, the symptoms will pass.
