What Experts Say

Tramadol containing capsules like Tramagesic are reserved for pain that has not responded to safer, non opioid painkillers. Doctors in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi treat this medicine as a controlled substance, since Pakistan has seen rising concern over opioid misuse in recent years, particularly among young adults.

Physicians recommend using Tramagesic strictly at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Taking it more frequently than prescribed, or combining it with alcohol, sleeping pills or other opioids, sharply increases the risk of slowed breathing and overdose.

Regular or prolonged use can lead to tolerance and physical dependence, meaning the body may need higher doses to feel the same relief over time. Anyone prescribed Tramagesic for more than a few weeks should have their treatment reviewed regularly by a doctor, and stopping suddenly after long term use should always be done under medical guidance to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
