Tramal Retard 100mg: Long-Lasting Relief for Severe Pain
Tramal Retard 100mg is a potent centrally acting opioid analgesic designed to provide effective relief for moderate to severe chronic pain. The active ingredient, Tramadol Hydrochloride, works by changing how your brain and nervous system respond to pain.
In Nigeria, Tramal Retard is commonly prescribed for conditions that require "round-the-clock" pain management. The "Retard" in the name signifies its sustained-release formulation, which releases the medicine slowly into your system over 12 hours. This provides a steady level of relief and reduces the need for frequent dosing compared to immediate-release tablets.
What is Tramal Retard Used For?
Tramal Retard 100mg is primarily used for persistent pain where other non-opioid painkillers have not provided enough relief. Common use cases include:
- Chronic Back and Joint Pain: Relief for osteoarthritis and severe lower back issues.
- Post-Surgical Recovery: Managing ongoing pain following major surgery.
- Neuropathic Pain: Treatment for nerve-related pain.
How Much is Tramal Retard 100mg in Nigeria?
The price of a pack of Tramal Retard 100mg (50 Tablets) typically ranges from ₦15,000 to ₦22,000 in Nigeria. This price can vary depending on your location and the specific pharmacy. Because it is a controlled substance regulated by NAFDAC, it is only available at licensed pharmacies like GoMed and requires a valid medical prescription.
Important Safety Information
- Prescription Only: This is a controlled medicine. Never use it without a doctor's guidance.
- Alcohol Warning: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Tramal, as it can increase the risk of dangerous side effects.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before use.
