Description

Aspadol Tab contains Tapentadol, a centrally acting opioid pain medication used to manage moderate to severe pain. It is commonly prescribed for pain following surgery, injury, or chronic conditions where non-opioid pain relievers are insufficient. Tapentadol works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to block pain signals and also inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine, which enhances pain relief.

Aspadol is available in immediate-release and extended-release forms, allowing flexibility based on pain severity and treatment duration. It is effective for both acute episodic pain and longer-term chronic pain management under supervised use.
