commonly known as Tramatas, Tranzex, Aurotrama and Tramol-SR is used to
relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It also may be used to
treat pain caused by surgery and chronic conditions such as cancer or

Soma is a muscle relaxant used to relieve the pain and stiffness of muscle spasms and discomfort due to strain and sprain.
Before Taken
Soma
is taken orally. The usual adult dosage of soma is one 350 mg tablet,
three times daily and at bedtime. Usage in patients under age 12 is not
recommended. It is recommended that you take Soma with food, or with
milk, to minimize the likelihood that you will suffer an upset stomach
as a result of taking the medication.
Warnings/Precautions
Do
not take Soma if you have acute intermittent porphyria. Before taking
Soma, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease. You may
need a lower dose or special monitoring during your therapy. It is not
known whether Soma will harm an unborn baby. Do not take Soma without
first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. It is also not known
whether Soma passes into breast milk. Do not take Soma without first
talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Soma is not
approved for use in children younger than 12 years of age.
Missed Dose
If
you miss a Soma dose, take it as soon as remembered if it is within an
hour or so. If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose
and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not 'double-up' the Soma dose
to catch up.
Celebrex is used to relieve the pain, tenderness, inflammation
(swelling), and stiffness caused by arthritis. This medication is
sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for
more information.
Description
It is usually taken one
or two times a day as needed for pain. Follow the directions on the
prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to
explain any part you do not understand. Take Celebrex exactly as
directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often that
prescribed by you doctor.
Celebrex may be taken with or without food. If Celebrex causes an upset stomach, take it with food.
Celebrex works specifically on an enzyme called COX-2. Scientists
discovered two COX enzymes, called COX-1 and COX-2. The COX-1 enzyme
plays a role in stomach and kidney damage. The COX-2 enzyme mainly
plays a role in inflammation and pain.
While traditional
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen
inhibit the COX-2 enzyme and help to relieve pain and inflammation,
they also inhibit the COX-1 enzyme and thus can cause gastrointestinal
side effects like ulcers.
COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex
have specific action on the COX-2 enzyme to decrease pain and
inflammation, but have less action on the COX-1 enzyme and t
