4 productsCarisoprodolMuscle relaxants Free over €110

Centrally-acting muscle relaxants based on Carisoprodol — sold under the Pain-O-Soma and Prosoma brand names. Used for acute musculoskeletal pain (typically back pain, shoulder strain, post-injury spasm) as a short-term adjunct to physiotherapy or rest. Carisoprodol should not be used for more than 2–3 weeks at a time.

About Pain Relief

This category covers muscle relaxants based on Carisoprodol, used to relieve the discomfort of acute, painful muscle and skeletal conditions such as back strain or spasm. They work within the central nervous system rather than directly on the muscle, producing a calming effect that eases the perception of muscle pain.

Carisoprodol is intended for short-term use only — generally no more than two to three weeks — alongside rest, physiotherapy and other measures. It can cause drowsiness and has a potential for dependence, so it should be taken exactly as directed and never combined with alcohol or other sedatives.

What it's used for

  • Acute back pain and muscle strain
  • Muscle spasm following injury
  • Short-term musculoskeletal discomfort (adjunct to rest/physiotherapy)

How to choose

The products differ mainly by strength (350 mg, 500 mg and 1000 mg). Lower strengths are a sensible starting point; your doctor will advise the appropriate strength for your situation. Because Carisoprodol is for short courses only, it is not suitable for ongoing or chronic pain — speak to a doctor about longer-term options if your pain persists.

Safety essentials

  • For short-term use only — usually no more than 2–3 weeks.
  • Causes drowsiness; do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.
  • Do not drink alcohol or combine with other sedatives, sleeping tablets or opioids.
  • Has a potential for dependence — take only as prescribed and do not stop a long course abruptly without advice.
  • Always read the patient information leaflet and consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Frequently asked questions
