What does this imprint mean?

The imprint "SG 109" is a code stamped or printed on the tablet or capsule by the manufacturer, used to identify the drug, its strength and the maker.

Active ingredient

Carisoprodol

Uses and warnings

No boxed warning. The label prominently states "carisoprodol, the active ingredient in SOMA, has been subject to abuse, dependence, and withdrawal, misuse and criminal diversion." It also warns of sedation (reported in 13-17% of patients vs. 6% on placebo) with postmarketing reports of motor vehicle accidents, additive effects with other CNS depressants, withdrawal symptoms after abrupt cessation ("insomnia, vomiting, abdominal cramps, headache, tremors, muscle twitching, ataxia, hallucinations, and psychosis"), and postmarketing seizure reports, mostly in overdose.

"SOMA is indicated for the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions in adults." "SOMA should only be used for short periods (up to two or three weeks)" because evidence does not support longer-term effectiveness.
