Indicated for: pain and inflammation
Substance: tramadol + dexketoprofen (opioid analgesic + nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug)
ATC: N02AJ14 (Nervous system | Opioids | Opioids in combination with non-opioid analgesics)
Tramadol and dexketoprofen are medications used to treat moderate to severe pain. Tramadol is an opioid analgesic that acts on the central nervous system to reduce the perception of pain, while dexketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
The tramadol/dexketoprofen combination is effective in managing acute pain, including postoperative pain and musculoskeletal pain. This combination provides a stronger analgesic effect than using either drug alone and is recommended in cases where pain cannot be controlled with weaker analgesics.
Although effective, the use of tramadol and dexketoprofen may be associated with side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, or gastrointestinal disturbances. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by a doctor to minimize risks and ensure safe and effective treatment.
