When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Carisoprodol is partially metabolized to meprobamate, a pharmacologically active agent with known addictive potential. According to the manufacturer, abrupt cessation of carisoprodol 100 mg/kg/day (approximately 5 times the recommended daily adult dosage) was associated with mild withdrawal symptoms such as abdominal cramps, insomnia, headache, nausea and chills in some study subjects. In clinical use, psychological dependence and abuse have been rare. Nevertheless, therapy with carisoprodol should be administered cautiously in addiction-prone individuals, such as those with a history of alcohol or substance abuse. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients.
