Medical Description

Contramal SR 100mg Tab is a prescription medication primarily used in adults for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain. It contains tramadol as its active ingredient that relieves pain due to arthritis, headache or lower back pain, etc. Contramal SR Tab belongs to the opioid group of medications. Pain is an uncomfortable sensation caused due to certain receptors in the body that can be triggered due to an injury or disease. Contramal SR Tablets can relieve general or localised pain and act as an analgesic. It is considered a safe medication when taken in the prescribed dosage. Contramal SR Tab is a sustained release formulation. This means that the active ingredient in the tablet is slowly released over a period of time. Because of this, the effects of Contramal SR last for longer, and the tablet does not have to be taken as often as the regular formulation. Contramal SR Tab is generally given under the supervision of a healthcare provider and should not be self-administered. The dosage and frequency of Contramal SR will be decided by the doctor depending on your symptoms and the severity of your condition.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Contramal SR Tablet contains tramadol, an opioid painkiller. It acts in the central nervous system and inhibits the transmission of pain signals from nerves in the brain to the rest of the body. It also has an action resembling that of endorphins (chemical substances in the brain and spinal cord that elevate the mood). Additionally, it improves the effect of other chemical messengers in the brain like noradrenaline and serotonin that relieve pain.
