Asque Tablet
Asque Tablet Description
Asque Tablet is used to treat moderate to severe pain, with or without fever. The active ingredients in Asque tablets are paracetamol, tramadol, taurine and caffeine. Paracetamol reduces pain and
fever by decreasing the production of hormones that are responsible for causing pain and raising body temperature. Tramadol is a strong pain-killer that belongs to a group of medicines called opiates. It acts on the brain and gut and increases the availability of some chemicals in the brain. This action contributes to the pain-relieving effect of tramadol. Taurine is a chemical that prevents tissue damage and helps to fight pain and swelling. Caffeine boosts the pain-relieving effect of paracetamol and tramadol. The combination of these four ingredients enhances the pain-relieving action of Asque tablets and reduces the risk of adverse effects and dependency. Tramadol, an active ingredient in Asque tablets, can cause dependency, so the directions for use of Asque tablets should be strictly followed. This medicine requires dose tapering to avoid any withdrawal symptoms. Sudden withdrawal can result in serious problems such as agitation, nervousness, and life-threatening breathing problems. Side effects of Asque tablets include vomiting, constipation, sleepiness, dizziness, and restlessness. Asque tablets are not meant for children under 12.
