About Tralofen Tablet

Tralofen Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called painkillers, primarily used to get relief from pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Pain is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is associated with tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Perception of pain can differ from person to person where from tolerable to non-tolerable.

Tralofen Tablet contains Diclofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Tramadol (an opioid). Diclofenac works by blocking the release of chemical messengers, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. On the other hand, Tramadol blocks the transmission of pain signals to the brain, and as a result, pain perception is lowered.
