Before Taking This Medicine

chlorzoxazone have been used in children. They have not been reported to cause different side effects or problems in children than they do in adults.

How to Use
Soma comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken three times daily and at bedtime. It may be taken with or without food. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask
your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Soma exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
