- Precautions: It can be habit-forming and should be used only by the person for whom it was prescribed.

Important Information
Precautions
- Addiction Risk: Never share Soma, especially with individuals prone to drug abuse.
- Driving and Alertness: Soma may impair thinking or reactions, affecting activities that require full attention.
