Prodol
Composition:
Prodol Tablet: Each film coated tablet contains Paracetamol BP 325 mg & Tramadol hydrochloride BP 37.5 mg.

Pharmacology: Paracetamol is a non-opiate, non-salicylate analgesic. Tramadol is a centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesic. Although its mode of action is not completely understood, from animal tests, at least two complementary mechanisms appear applicable: binding of parent and M1 metabolite to m-opioid receptors and weak inhibition of reuptake of nor-epinephrine and serotonin. Opioid activity is due to both low affinity binding of the parent compound and higher affinity binding of the O-demethylated metabolite M1 to m-opioid receptors. As some other opioid analgesics, Tramadol has been shown to inhibit reuptake of nor-epinephrine and serotonin in vitro. These mechanisms may contribute independently to the overall analgesic profile of Tramadol.
