Are Generics Of Carisoprodol Effective?
Question: How many generics for carisoprodol, and do they have the same strength? my husband takes a generic also same strength but works better.
Brief Answer:
There are several generics..Not completely known
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Carisoprodol is a centrally acting medication that relaxes muscles. This helps with pain which is believed to be primarily caused by muscle spasms(involuntary contraction of muscles). There are several different manufacturers on the market and it would be extremely difficult to tell how many different generic forms are there. I am happy that your husband has been able to identify one that works better for hi and I will encourage him to stick to this one. There would be no point in changing to another whose benefits are not exactly clear to you both.
Tablets are available in different dosages of 350mg and 250mg. Check what the dosage of the tablets he is taking is and compare with the previous to tell whether it is the same strength.
