About MEGA FLEXON TABLET

MEGA FLEXON TABLET belongs to a class of drugs called analgesics (pain killers) primarily used to 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).

MEGA FLEXON TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Tramadol (opioid analgesic) and Acetaminophen (analgesic and antipyretic). Tramadol 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, it improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain. Acetaminophen is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever.

Take MEGA FLEXON TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take MEGA FLEXON TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

If you are allergic to MEGA FLEXON TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. MEGA FLEXON TABLET is not recommended for children below 12 years of age, as the safety and effectiveness were not established. Avoid taking MEGA FLEXON TABLET if you are pregnant as it may cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn baby. MEGA FLEXON TABLET may be excreted in human milk.
