Tapaday Gold 250

What Is Tapaday Gold 250 ?

Tapaday Gold 250 is a high-strength prescription opioid analgesic used for the treatment of severe acute or chronic pain in adults who are opioid-tolerant.

It contains Tapentadol Hydrochloride 250 mg, a dual-acting central analgesic that works by stimulating μ-opioid receptors and inhibiting norepinephrine reuptake, which helps block pain signals at the brain and spinal cord level.

Manufactured by Orange City Pharma, Tapaday Gold 250 mg is designed for individuals who have not achieved sufficient relief from lower-dose opioids. It provides rapid and powerful pain relief, especially in advanced or complex pain conditions, and is generally available in Immediate-Release (IR) formulation.

Composition 

Each tablet of Tapaday Gold contains:

• Active Ingredient: Tapentadol Hydrochloride 250 mg
• Inactive Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, povidone, polyvinyl alcohol, croscarmellose sodium, talc, magnesium stearate, aluminium oxide, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol

These excipients aid in proper absorption, stability, and effective drug release from the tablet.

How Does Tapaday Gold 250 Work?

Tapaday Gold 250 provides a high amount of Tapentadol. This substance has two properties: it stimulates the μ-opioid receptors and inhibits the norepinephrine reuptake.

The actions inhibit pain signals and alter the pain perception by the brain. It is very strong and thus can only be administered in the supervision of a licensed doctor.
