Medical Description

Calpol T is a medication used for relieving pain and fever. It is a combination of two drugs: paracetamol/ acetaminophen (325 mg) and tramadol (37.5 mg). Paracetamol belongs to the category of medications called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), and tramadol belongs to opioids or narcotics. It is a drug used for relieving moderate pain and fever. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.

Pain occurs when various chemical substances in the body are released due to an injury. The brain then sends signals to the body where there is an injury to notify that something is wrong. Calpol T helps in blocking these chemicals and brain signals. It is considered a safe medication when taken in the prescribed dosage. It can cause dependency issues, if it’s used regularly or in higher dosage.

If you already have kidney or liver-related issues, consult your doctor first before taking this medication. Some people can experience withdrawal effects with this drug after long-term use. Try not to use this drug continuously for more than five days. It has few side effects, and it's rare to have an allergic reaction to this drug.
