Updated
mwhiz01 Says:
I have been using soma/carisoprodol for many years. Usually the paharmacy gives me generic from Watson or Qaulitest. Last time I got the meds it was manufac. by Carimax. It didn't work as well. Do different brands work differently?

Question is how did it work for you?
Over the years of car accidents and bronchitis, Make no mistake, HUGE difference in pain meds and antibiotics [of generic variety]. I try to avoid Indian made meds.

Googles is loaded with these articles.
I think the FDA should require under law "country of origin on EVERY bottle, or better yet, the pharmacy should have that info BEFORE you fill your script.
I no longer buy edible items from outside the US.
You should be able to choose your drugs the same way.

You don't eat anything not made in the U.S., why that is weird! Medications are produced worldwide and we don't have the luxury of picking the country of origin, heck you're lucky if you can even get Soma these days

Qualitest are really generic and don't work,way to many fillers, they have a check mark on it. Watson have Dan stamped on it and are the best generic, mp stamped on it means it was made by mutual pharmacy and rate #2 as far as effectiveness ...stay away from qualitest they are cheap Canadian replicas and give me a severe headache, Walgreens CVS Walmarts carry them

Qualitest might not be the best brand ever but who are you to say it has too many fillers? I am currently getting Qualitest from Rite Aid, that's all they have carried in the last couple of years and it sure is better than nothing at all!

I just had mine changed from the 5513 Dan to sg 109 and these are so strong they make me have nightmares and I'm groggy all the next day. I hate them. Really strong.

When did Qualitest start selling carisoprodol again? I found them to be the most effective and went thru many months of trying to find a decent replacement with the closest being Watson. Where can you get it now? We don't have rite aid in Florida.

Qualitest started selling Soma 09/08/1997 according to the company bio. That is all I seem to get, no complaints as these are better than nothing and the price is right, about $1.10 with insurance.

I have been taking soma for 20 yrs until now I can't find A DR TO rite for them anymore , in my experience the Danbury are the best hands down, they are made by Watson but they are better than the ones that say Watson on them

The SG 109 generics are no better than aspirin if even that and the CVS Pharmacists tried to tell me there was no difference between what I took before and what I was taking now! The 2410 V was much better by far!

Watson is the brand that works the best for me, and it is the strongest of all brands I've tried. Whether or not you eat makes all the difference.

Re: Patrick (# 4) 
Charlie.....I totally agree with the carisoprodol that has Dan on one side and 5513 on the other.....like taking nothing at all..... plus the Hard coating takes forever to disinigrate..... I think it does that after it LEAVES THE COLON!!!! Hate this one!!!!

Betty,
It makes a HUGE difference. If your stomach is empty, you may "feel" the effects, just like when drinking alcohol.

Re: UFC (# 5)
Well, does the real 250 mg seem to help your musculoskeletal condition feel better? Is it fast acting on your muscle spasms and does it relax you? I've always received the Soma with the V on it from QUALITEST BRAND. It is the best for the symptoms of the deep muscle pain and spasms that are very painful. I think these other brands are cheaper for the Pharmacies to purchase so the patient gets ripped off in the long run. We are at their mercy and always hoping the medication will help us.
