PTRAX TABLET

PTRAX TABLET is used for short-term to relieve moderate to severe pain. Pain is a sensation that occurs in response to external injury, stress, or infection and travels as an impulse through body cells, producing an unpleasant feeling and alerting the body to act.

PTRAX TABLET contains Tramadol and Paracetamol. Tramadol targets pain receptors in the central nervous system. It acts by blocking the nerve signals responsible for pain. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic by inhibiting the release of chemical mediators that cause pain. Tramadol and paracetamol, in combination, have a faster onset of action and provide quick relief from the pain. Altogether, they effectively reduce the pain.

Take PTRAX TABLET as prescribed. PTRAX TABLET may cause certain common side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, weakness, and blurred vision. However, all the patients may not develop the same side effects. Inform your doctor if you notice any abnormal side effects. Stop taking this medicine and consult a doctor immediately if you experience breathing problems.

It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of PTRAX TABLET. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. PTRAX TABLET may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid taking alcohol with PTRAX TABLET as it might lead to increased dizziness. PTRAX TABLET is not recommended for children younger than 12 years old.
