What is Soma?Soma, which is also called carisoprodol, is a medicine that doctors prescribe to help relieve pain from muscle problems that come on suddenly, like sprains or strains. It helps by changing how the nerves in the brain and spinal cord send signals, which makes the muscles less tense and easier to relax.
