Carisoprodol (Soma) is for short-term treatment (2-3 weeks) of acute musculoskeletal conditions. Do not take this medicine for longer than prescribed, as it can be habit-forming and may produce physical dependence.

Missed dose: If you miss a dose of carisoprodol, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.
