What is Soma pill?

Soma pill or Carisoprodol (generic name) is a muscle relaxant that helps us get relief from pain. The class of muscle relaxants it belongs to is called carbamate.

 Muscle relaxants are drugs that work on our central nervous system to give us relief from pain. 
Carisoprodol too acts on our central nervous system to prevent us from feeling the sensations of pain.
 
It provides a blockage in the transmission of those pain sensations between the nerves and the brain. 
In this way, it changes a person’s reaction towards it. It does not cure the pain altogether but provide temporary relief from pain. A person can go about doing their daily chores without having to endure this irritating sensation.
