How Long Does Soma Stay in Your System?

 Soma (carisoprodol) is a muscle relaxant and is used to help relieve pain and discomfort caused by stress, sprains, and other muscle injuries. Buy Soma online after prescribed by your physician or doctor.

Soma works by affecting communication between nerves in the central nervous system. It relaxes the muscles and relieves pain.

Soma is available in tablets and is also available in combination products that include aspirin or codeine and aspirin. It is prescribed several times a day. You should take Soma with milk or food as it can cause stomach upset.

How Soma Affects Your System

Carisoprodol breaks down into meprobamate in the body, which is also active under its effect. Carisoprodol is absorbed and starts the effect after 30 minutes and the effect lasts for 4 to 6 hours.

The half-life of carisoprodol is about 1 to 3 hours, which varies depending on individual metabolism. Between 6 and 17 hours, meprobamate has a very long half-life, which can lead to accumulation with multiple doses.

Carisoprodol and its metabolite meprobamate are both excreted in the urine and can be detected for several days after the last dose.
