About CONTRAMAL INJECTION 1ML

CONTRAMAL INJECTION 1ML belongs to a class of medicines called opioid analgesics (pain killers). CONTRAMAL INJECTION 1ML is primarily used in the treatment of moderate to severe pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term). It can be general (overall body pains) or localized (pain in a specific area of the body). 

CONTRAMAL INJECTION 1ML contains Tramadol that works by mimicking the action of endorphins (pain-reducing chemicals) in the brain and spinal cord. Thereby, inhibits the transmission of pain signals from nerves to brain. Also, CONTRAMAL INJECTION 1ML improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain. 

CONTRAMAL INJECTION 1ML will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation or sweating. Most of these side effects of CONTRAMAL INJECTION 1ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.
