Soma Dol 500

What Is Soma Dol 500 ?

Soma Dol 500 is a high-strength prescription muscle relaxant used to manage acute musculoskeletal pain, spasms, and tension in adult patients. It contains Carisoprodol 500 mg, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that disrupts nerve signal transmission between the brain and spinal cord.

This mechanism helps relieve muscle tightness, stiffness, and discomfort caused by injuries, post-surgical pain, or inflammatory muscle conditions.

Manufactured by Orange City Pharma, Soma Dol 500 is intended for short-term use under medical supervision. Its potent formula makes it suitable for patients who do not respond adequately to lower doses, such as Soma-Dol 350 mg.

Composition 

Each tablet of Soma-Dol includes:

• Active Ingredient: Carisoprodol 500 mg
• Inactive Ingredients: Alginic acid, starch, microcrystalline cellulose, tribasic calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, potassium sorbate, and other pharmaceutical excipients

These excipients support the medication’s rapid disintegration, optimal bioavailability, and consistent therapeutic effect.

How Does Soma Dol 500 Work?

Soma-Dol is a relaxant of the muscles. It has carisoprodol that functions in the central nervous system of the body. Carisoprodol stops pain messages that are destined to reach the brain.
