Soma Dol 350

What Is Soma Dol 350 ?

Soma Dol 350 is a prescription muscle relaxant formulated to treat acute musculoskeletal pain and spasms in adult patients. It contains Carisoprodol 350 mg, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that works by blocking pain signals between the brain and spinal cord.

This interruption of neural transmission helps ease muscle stiffness, tension, and discomfort caused by injuries, sprains, or other painful conditions.

Manufactured by Orange City Pharma, Soma Dol 350 is frequently prescribed for short-term pain management, usually in combination with rest and physical therapy, for enhanced recovery.

Composition 

Each tablet of Soma-Dol 350 includes:

• Active Ingredient: Carisoprodol 350 mg
• Inactive Ingredients: Alginic acid, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, magnesium stearate, tribasic calcium phosphate, potassium sorbate, and other pharmaceutical excipients

These components promote rapid disintegration, optimal absorption, and consistent muscle-relaxing action.

How Does Soma Dol 350 Work?

Soma-Dol 350 is effective because it breaks pain during transmission between the brain and the spinal cord through the use of Carisoprodol which is a central-based acting muscle relaxant.

It contributes to reducing the acute musculoskeletal discomfort like a spasm or tension or any injury. It is rather weak and can be used only in early treatment and must not be used without qualified medical guide.
