Medical Description

Contramal 50 mg capsule is used for treating pain. Its composition is made of tramadol 50 mg. Tramadol belongs to a class of medicines called opioid analgesics or narcotics. It is a medicine used for relieving mild to moderate pain. It can be used for both localised or general body pains. Pain occurs when various chemical substances in the body are released due to an injury. These substances cause the brain to send signals to the body where there is an injury to notify that something is wrong. The contramal capsule helps block these brain signals from reaching the place of injury. It is considered a safe medication when taken in the prescribed dosage. Contramal pills can help you reduce discomfort due to pain and rest better. 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 medicine after long-term use. It has few side effects, and it's rare to have an allergic reaction to this medicine.

It also improves the effect of noradrenaline and serotonin, chemical messengers in the brain which relieve pain.
