Verve Tramadol Hydrochloride Injection 50mg/ml

Verve Tramadol Hydrochloride Injection 50mg/ml is a potent centrally acting analgesic used for the management of moderate to severe pain. In Nigeria, it is a standard hospital-grade medication used for post-operative recovery, trauma care, and acute pain management when oral administration is not suitable.

Each 2ml ampoule contains 100mg of Tramadol Hydrochloride (50mg/ml).

How It Works

Tramadol works through a dual mechanism: it acts as a μ-opioid receptor agonist and also inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in the central nervous system. This dual action helps to alter the way your brain and nervous system respond to pain, providing fast and effective relief for intense physical distress.

Dosage and Administration

This medication must be administered by a healthcare professional (doctor or nurse). It can be given as a slow intravenous (IV) injection or as an intramuscular (IM) injection.

• Adults: The typical dosage is 50mg to 100mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
• Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 400mg in a 24-hour period.
• Professional Monitoring: Dosage is carefully adjusted based on the patient's pain level and response to prevent respiratory depression or other adverse effects.
