Soma 350mg With Imprints Of Sg 109 (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)
Updated
Susie Says:
Just received my refill of soma 350mg but they look different than the ones I am used to getting from the same pharmacy. No read out was put in the bag. The white round pill had a SG 109 on one side & blank on the other side. Anybody ever heard of these before? Because, since there was no print out of the new different medication I was a little worried, "what if the pharmacist made a little error in mine & somebody else's medications". Thanks for any feedback.

Re: Pamela (# 20) 
they are now owned by activas which still uses the watson formulation just ask for activas next fill and you will get the dans watson formulation

actually these are not bad and qualitest are not the best they are the cheapest so this is why most pharmacies carry them it saves them money the quaintest soma. i took it for years before switching back to the dan 5513 somas which are best so far but there are a lot of generics now but watson activas soma is by far better than quailitest i took qualitest for years then made switch to the dans which are and seem to be usa best generic

Re: ballyhoo girl (# 21)
I wound up switching pharmacies. I did try crushing the pills, and taking them on an empty stomach with some cola, which usually helps get meds into my system faster, but they still didn't work as well as Qualitest. In fact, I swear this brand heightened my anxiety, possibly because I knew they weren't working. Anyway, I was able to get the Qualitest the following month, however, something was off with those too. It turns out Qualitest was bought out by Par pharmaceuticals, and though the pills looked the same, they most definitely were not equal to what I had been getting, so I called around and found the pharmacy that stocks Watson/Actavis, the DAN pills, and I haven't had any issues since. I'm surprised actually, as these seem to work consistently without fail.

Yes, it is likely $. I worked at an independent pharmacy, and we always ordered the least expensive meds, even if it was a penny cheaper. But for Soma, we also always carried DAN. These were often demanded, so the owner simply charged more.

Re: Pseudonymish (# 13)
I noticed this too and talked to my doctor about switching pharmacies, as their vendors differ. I think it's the coating put over the pill to make it easier for swallowing that I didn't like. It doesn't metabolize as easily as the chalky tablets, so my doctor suggesting crushing it first with the back of a spoon. It has helped some, but sure is bitter going down.

Re: Litte40 (# 5)
I would love to get the old supplier. It used to say Dan on the pill. They were always consistent for years. Now they get these cheap suppliers and they don't work. We're paying for medicine that doesn't work at all.

Re: Con con (# 18)
They are very different. I have taken Soma for years now for a neck injury. For the second time in years, just today, I was filled with the SG109. They do NOT work the same as the V’s. I am not happy. It’s almost like a scam. From now on I will call before and make sure I never get these again.

How does carisoprodol sg109 differ from carisoprodol 2410v? They are both white round pills.

Re: Kathy (# 4)
I've been on this medicine for 15yrs and these are by far the worst! I got them from cvs 2 weeks ago and they arent doing anything for my muscles and unfortunately I can only go to 1 pharmacy or I'd definitely not be going back there.. I asked my pharmacist if they could possibly get my normal brand but he confirmed that this is the manufacturer that most pharmacies are using..

Kathy, I agree, they are terrible. CVS gave them to me 2 months in a row and they have not helped. I am going to ask them to order something different. I prefer Watson brand. Hopefully they will work with me.

This is my first time getting the SG 109 and they are wearing off faster than the 365.... So I will not go back to that pharmacy again. I also think they should give us a choice if we want the generic pills... because I have other meds and I don't know how this brand will affect those.

I assure you this is not groupthink or persuasion. I just filled my script today and wound up getting these instead of the normal Qualitest. So far, I'm really upset, as they don't even compare offering little in the way of relief. They contain a bunch of fillers and are as hard as a rock. They might even be worse than Aurobindo, which I didn't think was possible. I don't know how there is such a discrepancy between generics of carisoprodol specifically. Pharmacists want to say they're all the same,however, generic manufactures can get away with +|- 20% of the active ingredient. If one manufacture has +20% and another has -20%, that's a 40% difference; that's hardly the same med! I would urge others to stay away from this brand if possible.

I respect all of this feedback, but I must comment: The power of suggestion can be a powerful thing, especially when medicine's are being commented on. Just a thought!

@Sherry, its simply a cost factor. You can always ask for the name brand version which is usually expensive and not covered by insurance or at a very small %, but you can't really ask for another generic and expect to get it, although there are some here who claim its possible

I am showing SG 109 to be made by Vensun Pharmaceuticals based out of Yardley PA. It seems Rite Aid has just switched to this brand. Got 90 350 mg pills for $1.20 with insurance today.

I receive my Soma from the VA. They just dont seem like any others that I've taken in the past. I'd rather have the ones made by Qualitest. But I won't complain to the VA, because it took me yrs to get back on them. It has something to do with their formulary. They really do help my muscles and that's the main thing.
