Lagaflex (Carisoprodol)

Lagaflex (Carisoprodol)

For the past few weeks I had been suffering from slight back pain. The pain was mild so I didn’t bother visiting a doctor and thought it will ease off after few days. Because of the back pain I wasn’t able to do my regular works and had to cut off my exercise schedules as well. The pain lasted for about a week and just when I thought it had eased it became so intense and painful that I had to see a doctor.

The doctor prescribed me Lagaflex (Carisoprodol) along with some tests like X Rays and blood test. I was fine with the X Ray but didn’t understand why he asked for the blood test but since the doctor asked me I had to carry on with the tests. I proceeded with the test but the report was only given to me the next day so I went home and used Lagaflex (Carisoprodol)  as advised by my doctor.

After dinner before going to sleep I administered the drug and within 20 minutes of using Lagaflex (Carisoprodol)  I felt fast asleep and woke up only the nest morning. After a week or so I could sleep well without that awful back pain which was troubling me for over a week. In the morning against I felt slight pain but it was negligible and I collected my report and visited the doctor again. The report was all good and the doctor advised some light exercises along with the medication to be continued for a week.

It took exactly a week before the back pain was completely gone thanks to Lagaflex (Carisoprodol) and the exercise the doctor prescribed for me.

Lagaflex (Carisoprodol) side effects

As long as side effects concerned with using the drug I felt dizziness as soon as I started using it. In just about 20 minutes I felt fast asleep and woke only the next day. Besides feeling sleepy I didn’t suffer from any other side effects . Patients may suffer from rashes, hives, allergies and other skin conditions in which case it is advisable to stop using the drug immediately and consult a doctor.
