The dose is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. This medicine should only be used short-term (for 3 weeks or less) unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
If you suddenly stop using this medicine, you may experience withdrawal symptoms (such as stomach cramps, sleep problems, headache, nausea). To prevent withdrawal, your doctor may reduce your dose slowly. Withdrawal is more likely if you have used carisoprodol for a long time or in high doses. Tell your doctor or pharmacist straight away if you experience withdrawal symptoms.
Although it helps many people, this medication can sometimes cause addiction. This risk may be higher if you have a substance use disorder (for example overuse or dependence on drugs/alcohol). Take this medicine exactly as prescribed to reduce the risk of addiction. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists after 2 to 3 weeks or if it worsens.
