Frendol-P Tablet Uses

About Frendol-P Tablet

Frendol-P Tablet uses include the short-term relief of moderate to severe pain that needs a combination of tramadol and paracetamol. It contains tramadol, an opioid painkiller that changes how the brain and spinal cord sense pain, and paracetamol, which relieves pain in a different way, so the two work together. Use it only under medical supervision because tramadol can cause drowsiness and dependence and is meant for the shortest time needed.
