About this product
Overview
Tonoflex P Tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: tramadol and paracetamol (acetaminophen). It is primarily used to relieve moderate to severe pain, where the use of an opioid analgesic such as tramadol and a non-opioid analgesic such as paracetamol is deemed appropriate.
Description
Tonoflex P Tablet is an oral tablet that combines tramadol and paracetamol. Tramadol is an opioid analgesic that works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain. Paracetamol is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic that helps reduce pain and fever by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system.
