This causes blockage in the transmission of pain signals, resulting in analgesia (pain relief). Tramadol is also known to act by increasing the levels of a certain chemical in the body called norepinephrine. This chemical blocks the transmission of pain signals, resulting in analgesia (pain relief).
Paracetamol interferes with the production of a chemical called prostaglandins, which are responsible for the fever, swelling and sensation of pain....
