What is Carisoprodol:
Carisoprodol is a medication used, along with rest, physical
therapy, and other measures, for the relief of acute,
painful muscle strains and spasms. Carisoprodol alone will
not heal your muscles. You need to follow the program of
physical therapy, rest, or exercise that your doctor
prescribes. Do not attempt any more physical activity than
your doctor recommends, even though Carisoprodol temporarily
makes it seem feasible.
Taking Carisoprodol: Take Carisoprodol exactly as
prescribed by your doctor.
Possible Side Effects of Carisoprodol: Side effects
cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in
intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your
doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue
taking Carisoprodol. Side effects of Carisoprodol may
include: Agitation, depression, dizziness, drowsiness,
facial flushing, fainting, headache, hiccups, inability to
fall or stay asleep, irritability, light-headedness upon
standing up, loss of coordination, nausea, rapid heart rate,
stomach upset, tremors, vertigo, vomiting. Allergic
reactions usually seen between the first and fourth doses of
Carisoprodol in patients who have never taken this drug
before include: itching, red welts on the skin, and skin
rash. A more severe allergic reaction may include symptoms
such as asthmatic attacks, dizziness, fever, low blood
pressure, shock, stinging of the eyes, swelling due to fluid
retention, and weakness.
Carisoprodol Precautions and Warnings: If you are
sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to
Carisoprodol or drugs of this type, such as meprobamate (Miltown),
you should not take Carisoprodol. Make sure your doctor is
aware of any drug reactions you have experienced. Unless you
are directed to do so by your doctor, do not take
Carisoprodol if you have porphyria (an inherited blood
disorder).
In rare cases, the first dose of Carisoprodol may cause
unusual symptoms that appear within minutes or hours of
taking the medication. Symptoms reported include: agitation,
confusion, disorientation, dizziness, double vision,
enlargement of pupils, extreme weakness, exaggerated feeling
of well-being, lack of coordination, speech problems,
temporary loss of vision, and temporary paralysis of arms
and legs. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours.
If you experience any of them, contact your doctor
immediately.
Carisoprodol may impair the mental or physical abilities you
need to drive a car or operate dangerous machinery. Do not
participate in hazardous activities until you know how this
drug affects you. If you have a history of drug dependence,
make sure your doctor is aware of it before you start taking
Carisoprodol. Withdrawal symptoms, including abdominal
cramps, chilliness, headache, insomnia, and nausea, have
occurred in people who suddenly stop taking Carisoprodol.
Take this drug cautiously if you have any kidney or liver
problems.
The effects of Carisoprodol
during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor
immediately. This drug appears in breast milk and could
affect a nursing infant. If Carisoprodol is essential to
your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue
breastfeeding until your treatment is finished.
Medications That Affect Carisoprodol: Carisoprodol
may intensify the effects of alcohol. Be careful drinking
alcoholic beverages while you are taking Carisoprodol. If
Carisoprodol is taken with certain other drugs, the effects
of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is
especially important to check with your doctor before
combining Carisoprodol with the following: Antidepressant
drugs such as Elavil, Tofranil, and Nardil, Major
tranquilizers such as Haldol, Stelazine, and Thorazine,
Sedatives such as Nembutal and Halcion, Tranquilizers such
as Librium, Valium, and Xanax.

Carisoprodol can be fatal. If you suspect an overdose, seek
medical help immediately. Symptoms of Carisoprodol overdose
may include:
breathing difficulty, coma, shock, or stupor.
Missed Carisoprodol Dose: Take the missed dose as
soon as you remember if only an hour or so has passed. If
you do not remember until later, skip the dose you missed
and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at
once.
