TRAMAFLAM TABLET is a pain killer that works by mimicking the action of endorphins (pain-reducing chemicals) in the brain, thereby, inhibiting the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain. Thus, TRAMAFLAM TABLET improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain. TRAMAFLAM TABLET is used to relieve pain after surgery, pain caused by an injury or illness.
