Can you take soma while pregnant?

Answer 1

While there is no evidence of adverse effects of Soma (carisoprodol) in humans, there have been studies in animals that indicate some risk of adverse effects. Check with your doctor if you become pregnant while taking Soma, as the benefits may outweigh the risks - but know that there is still no record of adverse effects in humans to the fetus or the mother.

Answer 2

I took Soma up until I was pregnant then when I got pregnant my dr said to only take it when i ABSOLUTLY needed to, which was twice, they dont know what affects it could have on an unborn baby. So its a risk.

Answer 3

No. Soma (Carisoprodol) is a skeletal muscle relaxant, and this medication passes into breast milk in large amounts. Nursing mothers should avoid this drug because it affects their babies. You can talk to you doctor and ask if there is another muscle relaxant that you can take while nursing that won't pose any risk to your baby.

Answer 4

Um..yes, I would think so. Isin't a soma a kind of narcotic?? Um..yea I think so. So I would be careful and try to take another kind of musle relaxer while your pregnant.
