About Tranzex 50 MG Capsule

An opioid agonist, Tranzex 50 MG Capsule works as a pain reliever, providing relief from both moderate and severe pain. Similar to endorphins, it binds to the receptors in your body. These receptors will decrease the pain messages that your body generally sends to the brain when you are in pain.

The medicine has to be taken orally and is available in three forms - an immediate-release tablet, an extended-release tablet and a capsule. This medicine can be taken as a combination therapy, where you take it along with other medications for your treatment.

Your doctor will decide the dosage of Tranzex 50 MG Capsule and ensure that you follow the instructions. You must not take the medicine in more than the amount prescribed or longer than the prescribed period.

This medicine can be taken with food or without it, but you must take it in the same way every day. The medicine must be swallowed wholly, without trying to crush, break or mixing it in water. As it is a pain reliever, it is unlikely that you will miss a dose. In case you do, refrain from taking two doses together to make up for the missed one.
