Mode of action

The Prosoma 500 mg contains the active ingredient carisoprodol. It is believed that Carisoprodol slows down the activity of the central nervous system, affecting both the brain and spinal cord. This CNS depression leads to a calming and relaxing effect on the body. Carisoprodol may interfere with transmitting pain signals from the muscles to the brain. It can alter how the brain perceives and responds to pain from musculoskeletal conditions such as muscle spasms, strains, or sprains.
