Zydol 50mg

Zydol 50mg contains tramadol hydrochloride, a centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesic used for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain.

Tramadol works via dual mechanisms: it binds to μ-opioid receptors and inhibits reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, modifying pain perception and response. It has a lower abuse potential than stronger opioids but still carries risks of dependence, seizures, and serotonin syndrome, especially when combined with antidepressants or in high doses.

Zydol 50mg provides short-acting pain relief and is typically used for postoperative pain, musculoskeletal pain, or neuropathic pain when non-opioid analgesics are inadequate.

• Primary uses: Moderate to moderately severe pain (acute or chronic).
• Onset: ~1 hour; Duration: ~6 hours.
• Warnings: Prescription-only; avoid in seizure-prone patients or those on SSRIs/SNRIs.
• Risks: Nausea, dizziness, dependence, serotonin syndrome, respiratory depression (in overdose).
