Distalgesic Tablets 10s

Distalgesic Tablets 10s, made by Atco Laboratories Ltd, is a combination of an opioid painkiller and paracetamol. Its active ingredient is Tramadol + Paracetamol, and it is used for moderate to severe pain and pain after injury or surgery. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Distalgesic Tablets 10s

Distalgesic Tablets 10s is used for the short-term relief of moderate to severe pain, such as pain after an injury, an operation or dental treatment, when paracetamol or anti-inflammatory painkillers on their own have not been enough. Combining two painkillers that work in different ways gives stronger relief than either alone. It is not intended for long-term, everyday pain.

How Distalgesic Tablets 10s works

Tramadol is an opioid that acts on pain receptors in the brain and spinal cord, and it also increases serotonin and noradrenaline, which dampen pain signals. Paracetamol works mainly in the brain to reduce pain and fever. Together they relieve pain more effectively than either ingredient on its own.

Precautions and warnings
