Tramal Capsules 50mg (Tramadol)

Tramal is a high-quality brand of Tramadol Hydrochloride, a centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesic used to manage moderate to severe pain. It is manufactured by Grünenthal and is one of the most trusted pain relief medications in Nigeria for acute and chronic conditions.

What is Tramal 50mg used for?

Tramal 50mg is primarily prescribed for the management of pain that is not adequately controlled by non-opioid analgesics. Common uses include:

• Post-operative pain: Relief after surgical procedures.
• Severe injuries: Managing pain from fractures or trauma.
• Chronic pain: Ongoing pain management under strict medical supervision.
• Back pain: Moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain.

How it Works

Tramal works by targeting the central nervous system. It binds to specific opioid receptors in the brain and also inhibits the reuptake of neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine. This dual action changes how your body perceives and responds to pain signals.

Dosage and Administration

Tramal should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• Standard Dose: Usually 1 to 2 capsules (50mg to 100mg) every 4 to 6 hours.
• Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 400mg (8 capsules) in a 24-hour period.
• How to take: Swallow the capsules whole with water. They can be taken with or without food.

Important Safety Information (Controlled Substance)

In Nigeria, Tramal 50mg is a controlled medication. The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) strictly regulates its distribution.

• Prescription Required: A valid medical prescription is mandatory to purchase Tramal from GoMed.
• Avoid Alcohol: Do not drink alcohol while taking Tramal as it can lead to dangerous side effects.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy.
