SOMA (carisoprodol) Tablets are available as 250 mg and 350 mg round, white tablets. Carisoprodol is a white, crystalline powder, having a mild, characteristic odor and a bitter taste. It is slightly soluble in water; freely soluble in alcohol, in chloroform, and in acetone; and its solubility is practically independent of pH. Carisoprodol is present as a racemic mixture. Chemically, carisoprodol is N-isopropyl-2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate and the molecular formula is C12H24N2O4, with a molecular weight of 260.33. The structural formula is: 

 

SOMA is indicated for the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions in adults. 

SOMA should only be used for short periods (up to two or three weeks) because adequate evidence of effectiveness for more prolonged use has not been established and because acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions are generally of short duration 

Carisoprodol tablets are indicated for the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions in adults. 

Carisoprodol tablets should only be used for short periods (up to two or three weeks) because adequate evidence of effectiveness for more prolonged use has not been established and because acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions are generally of short duration. 

Warnings and Precautions

 

Sedation

 Carisoprodol has sedative properties (in the low back pain trials, 13% to 17% of patients who received Carisoprodol tablets USP experienced sedation compared to 6% of patients who received placebo) and may impair the mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery. There have been post-marketing reports of motor vehicle accidents associated with the use of Carisoprodol. 

Since the sedative effects of Carisoprodol and other CNS depressants (e.g., alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants) may be additive, appropriate caution should be exercised with patients who take more than one of these CNS depressants simultaneously. 

 

Drug Dependence, Withdrawal, and Abuse

 In the post-marketing experience with Carisoprodol, cases of dependence, withdrawal, and abuse have been reported with prolonged use. Most cases of dependence, withdrawal, and abuse occurred in patients who have had a history of addiction or who used Carisoprodol in combination with other drugs with abuse potential. However, there have been post-marketing adverse event reports of Carisoprodol-associated abuse when used without other drugs with abuse potential. Withdrawal symptoms have been reported following abrupt cessation after prolonged use. To reduce the chance of Carisoprodol dependence, withdrawal, or abuse, Carisoprodol should be used with caution in addiction-prone patients and in patients taking other CNS depressants including alcohol, and Carisoprodol should not be used more than two to three weeks for the relief of acute musculoskeletal discomfort. 

Carisoprodol, and one of its metabolites meprobamate (a controlled substance), may cause dependence. 

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Long term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Carisoprodol. 

Carisoprodol was not formally evaluated for genotoxicity. In published studies, Carisoprodol was mutagenic in the in vitro mouse lymphoma cell assay in the absence of metabolizing enzymes, but was not mutagenic in the presence of metabolizing enzymes. Carisoprodol was clastogenic in the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay using Chinese hamster ovary cells with or without the presence of metabolizing enzymes. Other types of genotoxic tests resulted in negative findings. Carisoprodol was not mutagenic in the Ames reverse mutation assay using S. typhimurium strains with or without metabolizing enzymes, and was not clastogenic in an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay of circulating blood cells. 

Carisoprodol was not formally evaluated for effects on fertility. Published reproductive studies of Carisoprodol in mice found no alteration in fertility although an alteration in reproductive cycles characterized by a greater time spent in estrus was observed at a Carisoprodol dose of 1200 mg/kg/day. In a 13-week toxicology study that did not determine fertility, mouse testes weight and sperm motility were reduced at a dose of 1200 mg/kg/day. In both studies, the no effect level was 750 mg/kg/day, corresponding to approximately 2.6 times the human equivalent dosage of 350 mg four times a day, based on a body surface area comparison. The significance of these findings for human fertility is not known. 

 

Clinical Studies

The safety and efficacy of Carisoprodol for the relief of acute, idiopathic mechanical low back pain was evaluated in one, 7-day, double blind, randomized, multicenter, placebo controlled, U.S. trial (Study 1). Patients had to be 18 to 65 years old and had to have acute back pain (≤3 days of duration) to be included in the trial. Patients with chronic back pain; at increased risk for vertebral fracture (e.g., history of osteoporosis); with a history of spinal pathology (e.g., herniated nucleus pulposis, spondylolisthesis or spinal stenosis); with inflammatory back pain, or with evidence of a neurologic deficit were excluded from participation. Concomitant use of analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen, NSAIDs, tramadol, opioid agonists), other muscle relaxants, botulinum toxin, sedatives (e.g., barbiturates, benzodiazepines, promethazine hydrochloride), and anti-epileptic drugs was prohibited. 

In Study 1, patients were randomized to one of two treatment groups (i.e., Carisoprodol 350 mg or placebo). In the study, patients received study medication three times a day and at bedtime for seven days. 

The primary endpoints were the relief from starting backache and the global impression of change, as reported by patients, on Study Day 3. Both endpoints were scored on a 5-point rating scale from 0 (worst outcome) to 4 (best outcome) in the study. 

The proportion of patients who used concomitant acetaminophen, NSAIDs, tramadol, opioid agonists, other muscle relaxants, and benzodiazepines was similar in the treatment groups. 

The results for the primary efficacy evaluations in the acute, low back pain study are presented in Table 3.

Patient Counseling Information

Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience any adverse reactions to Carisoprodol. 

Sedation

Patients should be advised that Carisoprodol may cause drowsiness and/or dizziness, and has been associated with motor vehicle accidents. Patients should be advised to avoid taking Carisoprodol before engaging in potentially hazardous activities such as driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery. 

Avoidance of Alcohol and Other CNS Depressants

Patients should be advised to avoid alcoholic beverages while taking Carisoprodol and to check with their doctor before taking other CNS depressants such as benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, sedating antihistamines, or other sedatives. 

Carisoprodol Should Only Be Used for Short-Term Treatment

Patients should be advised that treatment with Carisoprodol should be limited to acute use (up to two or three weeks) for the relief of acute, musculoskeletal discomfort. In the post-marketing experience with Carisoprodol, cases of dependence, withdrawal, and abuse have been reported with prolonged use. If the musculoskeletal symptoms still persist, patients should contact their healthcare provider for further evaluation.
