About VICTADOL TABLET

VICTADOL TABLET is used to prevent and 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).

VICTADOL TABLET 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, VICTADOL TABLET improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain.

Take VICTADOL TABLET as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take VICTADOL TABLET based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation, sweating or tiredness. Most of these side effects of VICTADOL TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking VICTADOL TABLET.
