Tapentadol 200mg

tapentadol 200mg

• Relieves moderate to severe acute pain (post-surgery, injury, dental procedures, etc.)
• Effective for chronic musculoskeletal pain (back pain, osteoarthritis) when other painkillers are insufficient
• Dual-action mechanism: works as opioid (mu-opioid receptor agonist) + norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (stronger than tramadol)
• Provides faster and more consistent pain relief compared to traditional opioids in many patients
• Lower risk of nausea/vomiting and constipation than oxycodone or morphine
• Available in immediate-release (50–100 mg every 4–6 hours) and extended-release (for around-the-clock chronic pain)
• Often prescribed when NSAIDs or weaker opioids fail

Precautions

Do NOT combine with MAO inhibitors, SSRIs, SNRIs, or alcohol – high risk of life-threatening serotonin syndrome and respiratory depression.
Risk of addiction, abuse, and overdose – use exactly as prescribed; sudden stopping can cause severe withdrawal.
Seek immediate help if you experience slow/shallow breathing, extreme drowsiness, seizures, or confusion.
