Although technically Soma is classified as a muscle relaxant it also has the ability to relieve pain by preventing the sensation of pain from traveling beyond the central nervous system to the brain. By preventing this, the brain doesn’t know there is pain therefore can’t send these signals to the affected part of the body thus relieving the pain for a while.
Soma is intended for short term use and should not be used for extended periods of time because of its ability to become addictive over prolonged use. When using Soma the dosage and frequency of use should be followed exactly.
If you miss a dose of Soma you should take the dose you missed as soon as you remember it however if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose you should skip the one you missed and resume your regular schedule with the next dose. This will prevent accidental overdosing. If you suspect you have taken too much too close together you should seek immediate medical treatment.
