Acuvin Tablets
Acuvin tablet is used for treating pain and fever. It comprises two compounds: Paracetamol 325 mg and tramadol 37.5 mg. Paracetamol belongs to the NSAID (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs) group. It relieves pain and fever by blocking chemical messengers responsible for mediating pain and inflammation. Tramadol belongs to an opiate class of drugs, which blocks pain signals from reaching the injury site. Pain is a signal that the brain sends to notify us about an injury or an infection. Acuvin tablet helps in reducing pain by blocking various chemicals, receptors, and signals. Along with pain, it also lowers redness, fever, and swelling. It is a safe medication that can be used with many other medications. But it can cause some side effects if you overdose. You can use Acuvin in the doses advised by the doctor. It has tramadol, an opiate painkiller that can cause withdrawal symptoms like tremors, sweating, dryness in the mouth, etc., when stopped abruptly after using it for long-term use. Avoid using it continuously for more than five days unless the doctor prescribes it. If you have any kidney or liver conditions, inform your doctor. Do not use it with other painkillers as it can increase side effects.
