Carisoprodol is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant prescribed for the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions in adults. It works by blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain, helping to relax muscles and reduce pain. Because acute musculoskeletal conditions are generally short-lived, Carisoprodol should only be used for short periods—typically up to two or three weeks.
