Description:
Darvin 37.5/325mg Tablets combine Tramadol Hydrochloride (37.5mg) and Paracetamol (325mg) to provide powerful, dual-action pain relief for moderate to severe pain.
This combination works by targeting pain through two mechanisms:
-
Tramadol, an opioid analgesic, alters pain perception in the brain.
-
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) helps reduce pain and fever.
Darvin is prescribed for pain caused by injury, surgery, arthritis, nerve pain, or musculoskeletal conditions. It offers effective relief while minimizing the need for higher opioid doses.
