Description

Acetra 37.5mg/325mg tablet is a combination of Tramadol and Paracetamol, designed to provide effective relief for moderate to severe pain. Tramadol, an opioid analgesic, acts on the central nervous system by altering the way the brain responds to pain, while Paracetamol (325mg) offers additional pain relief and reduces fever. This dual-action formulation is particularly useful for managing acute pain, such as from injuries, surgery, or chronic pain conditions like arthritis, as well as for alleviating inflammation and discomfort caused by fever.

Functions

Acetra works by leveraging the analgesic properties of both Tramadol and Paracetamol. Tramadol helps relieve pain by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which reduces the transmission of pain signals. At the same time, Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by acting on the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates body temperature. Together, they provide enhanced pain relief, making Acetra an effective choice for managing severe pain, inflammation, and fever.

Precautions

Before using Acetra, consult your doctor if you have a history of respiratory issues, liver or kidney problems, or any seizure disorders. Patients with a history of drug addiction, particularly opioid abuse, should avoid this medication due to the potential for dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Acetra is not recommended for use in children under 12 years or those recovering from tonsil or adenoid surgery. Additionally, it is important to avoid alcohol while using this medication, as it may increase the risk of serious side effects such as sedation or respiratory depression.

Side Effects

Acetra may cause some side effects, including dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and dry mouth. In rare cases, more severe side effects may occur, such as difficulty breathing, confusion, or a sudden change in mental status. If you experience any of these symptoms, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention. Long-term use of Tramadol can also lead to dependency and withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly, so always follow your doctor’s guidance regarding duration and dosage.

Cautions

Acetra should be used with caution in individuals with a history of seizures, brain injuries, or metabolic disorders such as Porphyria or Myotonic Dystrophy. It is also contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to opioid analgesics like morphine, codeine, or any other component in the medication. Always inform your healthcare provider of any pre-existing conditions, particularly those affecting your liver, kidneys, or lungs, before starting treatment with Acetra. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor as the safety of this medication in these cases has not been fully established.
