How does it Work?
Aspadol 100mg contains 100 gm of tapentadol. It belongs to a class of medicines known as opioid analgesics. When your body is hurt, it activates a pain messenger system in the brain. This tells our body what to do in response to avoid the pain. The opioid analgesics or painkillers like Aspadol bind to the “opioid receptors”. It’s a key part of the messenger system in the brain. This action blocks the path through which the pain signals are transferred. This helps alter the way the brain perceives the pain (by alleviating the feeling of pain).
