About TRAMACIP CAPSULE

TRAMACIP CAPSULE belongs to a class of drugs called opioid analgesics (pain killers). TRAMACIP CAPSULE is primarily used to prevent and treat 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).

TRAMACIP CAPSULE contains Tramadol which 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 the brain. Also, TRAMACIP CAPSULE improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain.

Take TRAMACIP CAPSULE as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take TRAMACIP CAPSULE based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation, sweating or tiredness. Most of these side effects of TRAMACIP CAPSULE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to TRAMACIP CAPSULE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. TRAMACIP CAPSULE is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking TRAMACIP CAPSULE. Do not consume alcohol with TRAMACIP CAPSULE as it may increase the risk of side effects. Avoid frequent or high doses as it may lead to addiction.
