Carisoprodol (i.e. Soma, Soprodol, Vanadom) is a muscle relaxant prescribed to relieve symptoms of muscle pain. Carisoprodol's addiction potential in adults has been well-established through case reports in the past. Carisoprodol abuse in adolescents has been reported in the 'Monitoring the Future' study since 2007, but no case studies or research has been published to date. Due to its relatively short half-life, tolerance and dependence develop quite quickly, leading to negative mental health outcomes. Awareness and education among health care providers remain critical to screen and treat this condition.
卡立普多(即索马、索普罗多、瓦纳多姆)是一种用于缓解肌肉疼痛症状的肌肉松弛剂。过去通过病例报告已充分证实卡立普多在成年人中的成瘾可能性。自2007年以来,“未来监测”研究报告了青少年滥用卡立普多的情况,但迄今为止尚未发表任何病例研究或相关研究。由于其半衰期相对较短,耐受性和依赖性发展相当迅速,会导致负面的心理健康结果。医疗保健提供者的认识和教育对于筛查和治疗这种情况仍然至关重要。
