Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain.
Carisoprodol is used, along with rest and physical therapy, to treat injuries and other painful muscular conditions.
Carisoprodol may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Before taking carisoprodol, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease. You may need a lower dose or special monitoring during your therapy.
