Aspadol 100

What Is Aspadol 100 Mg?

Aspadol 100 mg is a powerful prescription drug traditionally ordered to treat moderate up to severe pain of acute or chronic form among adults. It contains Tapentadol, a dual-acting analgesic that functions as both a μ-opioid receptor agonist and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI).

This mechanism helps modify how the nervous system processes and responds to pain signals.

Manufactured by Hab Pharma, Aspadol 100 mg is available in two primary formulations: Immediate-Release (IR) tablets for fast-acting relief, and Extended-Release (ER) tablets for prolonged pain management.

Composition of Aspadol 100 Mg

Each tablet of Aspadol contains:

• Active Ingredient: Tapentadol Hydrochloride 100 mg
• Inactive Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, povidone, and other pharmaceutical excipients

These ingredients ensure proper drug absorption, consistent potency, and optimal bioavailability in both IR and ER forms.

How Does Aspadol 100 mg Work?

Aspadol 100 mg acts together with Tapentadol which is a drug that influences the central nervous system in two directions. To begin with, it stimulates μ-opioid receptors.

Second, it inhibits the norepinephrine reabsorption. This mixture blocks a passage of pain to the brain and alters the brains responsiveness towards pain. Aspadol is a strong prescription painkiller and must be taken with much medical supervision.
