Tricare Tablet
Tricare Tablet Description
Tricare tablet is a medication used for relieving pain and fever. It is a combination of two active components: Paracetamol and Tramadol. Paracetamol belongs to the category of medications that lower
fever and inflammation (redness, swelling, etc.), and tramadol is an opioid pain-relieving medicine. Uses of Tricare tablets include managing moderate to severe pain in acute (sudden) and chronic (long duration) conditions. Pain is a stimulation in the body when various chemical substances are released due to an injury. The brain then sends signals to the part of the body where there is an injury to notify that something is wrong. The mode of action of Tricare tablets helps in blocking these chemical messengers in the brain that stimulate the pain receptors. When taken in the prescribed dosage, Tricare Tablet is considered a safe medication and can help reduce discomfort due to pain. If you already have a kidney or liver-related issue, consult your doctor before taking this medication. Some people can experience withdrawal effects with this medicine if used for a long duration. Try not to use this continuously for more than five days. A few side effects of Tricare tablets have been seen, but it is rare to have an allergic reaction to this medication.
