What Experts Say

This tablet dissolves under the tongue and delivers a strong opioid medicine reserved for pain that other treatments cannot manage. Its classification as a controlled substance in Pakistan means it is dispensed strictly against a valid prescription, with pharmacies keeping detailed records of every sale.

Doctors usually start with the lowest dose that controls pain and reassess regularly, since tolerance and physical dependence can develop even with correct medical use. Sudden stoppage after regular use can trigger withdrawal symptoms, so any change in dose should happen under medical guidance.

Misuse or use without a prescription carries serious health risks, including slowed breathing and dependence. Family members should store this medicine securely, away from anyone other than the person it was prescribed for.
