Generic Carisoprodol (Soma) is a salt [or ester] of carbamic acid, and is a combination of two molecules – dextrorotatory and levorotatory. Carisprodol is a short-term and fast-acting medicine, bringing relief from pain within half an hour of administration, while its effect may last for a minimum of 2 hours, and sometimes upto 6 hours. The medicine is normally well-tolerated if the correct dosage is taken, for the right period – 2-3 weeks.
Meprobamate, introduced in 1955 in USA, as an anti-anxiety drug, became notorious as a drug of dependence and abuse, particularly in Hollywood. Meprobamate is the forerunner of Carisoprodol, which is a prodrug of the former – an inactive compound by itself, Generic Carisoprodol metabolizes to Meprobamate in the body to produce its therapeutic effect. |
