It is not the same active ingredient, since the new tablet contains Methocarbamol, while Soma contains Carisoprodol, but they are in the same class of medications, both of them are muscle relaxants. Sometimes one works better for someone than another one.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth.

Have you tried it, yet? If so, how is it working for you?
