Soma (Watson brand) 350 mg - 30 Tablets
Drug Uses
Soma is a muscle relaxant used to relieve the pain and
stiffness of muscle spasms and discomfort due to strain
and sprain.
How Taken
Soma is taken orally. The usual adult dosage of soma
is one 350 mg tablet, three times daily and at bedtime.
Usage in patients under age 12 is not recommended. It
is recommended that you take Soma with food, or with
milk, to minimize the likelihood that you will suffer
an upset stomach as a result of taking the medication.
Warnings/Precautions
Do not take Soma if you have acute intermittent porphyria.
Before taking Soma, tell your doctor if you have kidney
or liver disease. You may need a lower dose or special
monitoring during your therapy. It is not known whether
Soma will harm an unborn baby. Do not take Soma without
first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. It
is also not known whether Soma passes into breast milk.
Do not take Soma without first talking to your doctor
if you are breast-feeding a baby. Soma is not approved
for use in children younger than 12 years of age. Missed Dose
If you miss a Soma dose, take it as soon as remembered
if it is within an hour or so. If you do not remember
until later, skip the missed dose and resume your usual
dosing schedule. Do not 'double-up' the Soma dose to
catch up. Possible Side Effects
Soma may cause dizziness, vertigo, ataxia, tremor, agitation,
irritability, headache, depressive reactions, syncope,
and insomnia. Allergic or idiosyncratic reactions occasionally
develop. They are usually seen within the period of
the first to fourth dose in patients having had no previous
contact with the drug. Skin rash, erythema multiforme,
pruritus, eosinophilia, and fixed drug eruption with
cross reaction to meprobamate have been reported with
Soma. Severe reactions have been manifested by asthmatic
episodes, fever, weakness, dizziness, angioneurotic
edema, smarting eyes, hypotension, and anaphylactoid
shock. Storage

overdose include low blood pressure (weakness, fainting,
