How does it Work?

Tapentadol is an active ingredient in Tapenta 100 mg. It is a synthetic analgesic that acts centrally. It’s believed to work through two main mechanisms, although their clinical relevance is not entirely clear. Tapentadol acts as a selective mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist. It binds to MOR with greater affinity than delta—and kappa-opioid receptors. Additionally, Tapentadol inhibits noradrenaline reuptake. This action increases noradrenaline levels and activates alpha-2 receptors, promoting analgesia. While Tapentadol is also a weak serotonin reuptake inhibitor, this aspect does not contribute to its analgesic effect.

Uses

Pain management: Manages pain resulting from traumatic injuries, such as fractures or sprains.

Recommended Dose

Tapentadol comes in two forms:

immediate-release tablets
extended-release (long-acting) tablets

Tapenta 100 mg pills are immediate-release tablets. They are usually taken with or without food every 4 to 6 hours as needed for acute pain, usually for just a few days.

On your first day of treatment with immediate-release tablets, your doctor might say you can take a second dose as soon as 1 hour after the first dose if needed to treat your pain.

If you forget to take a dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses together to make up for the skipped one.
