[|Human|] i have lower back spasms and am taking naproxen 500mg twice a day and soma 350mg twice a day and resting with moist heat.......I was examined by a physician to verify it is truly muscular and not neurologic....how long does it take for spasms to resolve, typically?
[|AI|]  Naproxen is an analgesic (NSAID) and effective in reducing low back pain. It is safe except for the fact that it could cause gastritis and hence needs to be taken after full feeds or with some anti-hyperacidity medication. SOMA contains a medicine called Carisoprodol which can be given safely for low back pain. If the low back pain is due to muscle spasm, the trigger of the spasms needs to be identified. Generally with some muscle relaxant, such spasms get typically relieved in a couple of days.
