TRAMACIP CAPSULE is used to prevent and treat moderate to severe pain. It 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, it improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation, sweating or tiredness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions. Avoid frequent or high doses as it may lead to addiction.
