About VICTADOL TABLET

VICTADOL TABLET belongs to a class of drugs called opioid analgesics (pain killers). VICTADOL TABLET 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).

VICTADOL TABLET 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, VICTADOL TABLET improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain.

Take VICTADOL TABLET as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take VICTADOL TABLET 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 VICTADOL TABLET 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 VICTADOL TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. VICTADOL TABLET 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 VICTADOL TABLET. Do not consume alcohol with VICTADOL TABLET as it may increase the risk of side effects. Avoid frequent or high doses as it may lead to addiction.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: It 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). Pain is highly subjective as some people have a high tolerance for pain while others have a low tolerance. Although pain is inconvenient and unpleasant, it hints about causes when something is wrong in the body. Pain may be caused due to cramps, headache, bone fractures, stomach pain, arthritis (swelling of one or more joints), muscle strain or overuse, cuts, flu, irritable bowel syndrome (an intestinal disorder causing stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation) and fibromyalgia (muscle pain with stiffness and tenderness).
