Soma tablets are a prescription muscle relaxant medication that contains the active ingredient carisoprodol. The drug works by blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain. It is used to treat acute musculoskeletal pain and discomfort.

Carisoprodol, the active ingredient in Soma tablets, works by affecting the central nervous system and blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain. It is believed to work by enhancing the activity of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps to reduce the activity of other neurotransmitters that can cause pain, anxiety, and other negative symptoms. By enhancing the activity of GABA, carisoprodol helps to reduce muscle spasms and pain, leading to relaxation and relief from discomfort.
