Product Information
Tridural (Tramadol HCl) provides pain relief through its action at three sites related to analgesic activity: the microns-opioid receptor, the serotonin receptor, and the norepinephrine receptor. Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. Tramadol has a 30-year history of efficacy and safety and is currently marketed in more than 70 countries worldwide, primarily in formulations that require multiple doses per day. Studies have shown that tramadol provides relief from both acute and chronic pain conditions, including osteoarthritis pain, low back pain, cancer pain, post-operative pain and dental pain.Tridural (Tramadol HCl) is based on Labopharm's proprietary controlled-release technology, Contramid, and a novel dual matrix delivery system that facilitates both rapid and sustained drug release, maintaining therapeutic blood levels of tramadol for a full 24-hour period. Tridural (Tramadol HCl) extended release tablets offers physicians and patients greater treatment flexibility based on its relatively rapid two-day titration schedule, which could help patients reach their optimum daily dose faster than any other approved once-daily tramadol product and quickly achieve effective pain relief.
