Tapentadol Aspadol 100mg

Aspadol 100mg contains 100 milligrams of tapentadol hydrochloride, a centrally-acting opioid analgesic. Tapentadol relieves pain through two actions:

1. It binds to mu-opioid receptors (similar to traditional opioids).
2. It inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter involved in pain regulation.

Health Benefits

Aspadol is prescribed for adults to relieve:

• Moderate to severe acute pain
• Chronic pain

It can also be used for specific types of pain, such as:

• Musculoskeletal pain
• Neuropathic pain (pain caused by nerve damage)

Dosage

• Tablet Strength: Each tablet contains 100 mg of tapentadol.
• Your doctor will determine the right dosage based on the severity of your pain, your response to the medication, and other health conditions.

General Dosage:

• Acute pain: Typically, the starting dose is 50 mg every 4 to 6 hours. A higher dose may be prescribed in certain cases.
• Chronic pain: Treatment begins with a lower dose, gradually increased (titrated) to find the effective dose. Maintenance doses range from 50 mg to 250 mg every 4 to 6 hours.
• 100 mg is often used during dose adjustment or as a maintenance dose.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
