Your doctor may want you to take carisoprodol (Soma, Soprodal, Vanadom) if you have a strain, sprain or other muscle injury. It is used with rest, physical therapy and other measures to relax muscles and relieve pain.

Carisoprodol is sometimes prescribed for other reasons as well. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information about carisoprodol.
