PT 325 TABLET 10'S

PT 325 TABLET 10'S belongs to a class of drugs called analgesics (pain killers) primarily used to treat moderate to severe pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term). It can be general (overall body pains) or localized (pain in a specific area of the body).

PT 325 TABLET 10'S is a combination of two drugs, namely: Tramadol (opioid analgesic) and Acetaminophen (analgesic and antipyretic). Tramadol works by mimicking the action of endorphins (pain-reducing chemicals) in the brain and spinal cord. Thereby inhibits the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain. Also, it improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain. Acetaminophen is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever.

Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term). It can be general (overall body pains) or localized (pain in a specific area of the body). Pain is highly subjective as some people have a high tolerance for pain while others have a low tolerance. Although pain is inconvenient and unpleasant, it hints about causes when something is wrong in the body. Pain may be caused due to cramps, headache, bone fractures, stomach pain, arthritis (swelling of one or more joints), muscle strain or overuse, cuts, flu, irritable bowel syndrome (an intestinal disorder causing stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation) and fibromyalgia (muscle pain with stiffness and tenderness).
