About ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL

ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL belongs to the group of medicines called painkillers, primarily used to relieve pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Pain is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is associated with tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Pain perception can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable.

ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL contains Aceclofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Tramadol (an opioid analgesic). Aceclofenac works by blocking the release of chemical messengers, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. On the other hand, Tramadol blocks the transmission of pain signals to the brain, and as a result, pain perception is lowered.

Take ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL as prescribed by your doctor. ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL causes some side effects like nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, dizziness, indigestion, sleepiness, constipation, heartburn, stomach pain, and dryness in the mouth. Most of these side effects of ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not take ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL if you are allergic to any of the ingredients of ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL or other analgesics. Consumption of alcohol should be avoided during the treatment with ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL as it may lead to an increased risk of liver damage and stomach bleeding. Patients with stomach ulcers, gastric bleeding, severe heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease should not take ACECLOFENAC+TRAMADOL. This medicine is not recommended for use in pregnancy.
