Does soma contain oxycodone

No..

Oxycodone is an opiate derivative (more properly termed 'opioid').

Oxycodone is in the same chemical class as Morphine, Codeine, Heroin(diacetylmorphine), and hundreds of others.

These drugs bind to opiate receptors in the brain, and the intestinal tract, depressing respiration, relieving feelings of pain, and usually give off a feeling of euphoria or well-being.

Opiates, obviously, are highly addictive, and stopping opiate use can cause horrible physical withdrawal symptoms.

Carisoprodol is the active ingredient in the medication Soma, and works as a centrally-acting skeletal muscle-relaxant.

It shares no chemical relation to the opiates (Oxycodone), and works at completely different binding sites in the body.

Carisoprodol has, however, been shown to potentiate opiates.

Meaning that if a person were taking oxycodone AND Carisoprodol, the effects of the oxycodone would be stronger.

But, in short.. Soma contains Carisoprodol, and is in no way related to the opiates.

　

Hope this helps..
