About Carisoma Compound Tablet

Carisoma Compound Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain due to muscle spasms, headache, migraine, rheumatic pain, backache, and menstrual period pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscle that can be painful.
 
Carisoma Compound Tablet contains Carisoprodol (muscle relaxant), Caffeine (brain stimulant), and Paracetamol (mild analgesic and fever reducer). Carisoprodol acts on the brain and spinal cord centres where it inhibits the multisynaptic reflex involved in muscle spasms, thereby relieving skeletal muscle spasms. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins which are responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. Caffeine increases the effectiveness of paracetamol and also acts as a central nervous system stimulant. Together, Carisoma Compound Tablet helps in relieving pain and fever due to muscle spasms.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, irritability, and nervousness. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
