Contramal Sr 100mg Tablets
Contramal 100 MG 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.
