Tapaday 100

What Is Tapaday 100 ?

Tapaday 100 is a prescription opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to severe acute or chronic pain in adults. It contains Tapentadol 100 mg, a centrally acting pain reliever that combines two mechanisms: μ-opioid receptor agonism and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition.

Together, these actions help block pain signals and reduce the perception of discomfort.

Manufactured by Orange City Pharma, Tapaday 100 is a reliable option for patients needing fast and effective pain relief.

Composition 

Each tablet of Tapaday contains:

• Active Ingredient: Tapentadol Hydrochloride 100 mg
• Inactive Ingredients: Lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, talc, magnesium stearate, polyvinyl alcohol, aluminium oxide, croscarmellose sodium, titanium dioxide, and polyethylene glycol

These excipients ensure tablet stability, rapid absorption, and consistent therapeutic effect.

How Does Tapaday 100 Work?

Tapentadol is the active ingredient of Tapaday. Tapentadol is a centrally acting painkiller which combines opioid agonist-modular (acting on so-called mu opioid receptors) with the inhibition of reabsorption of norepinephrine.

This combination inhibits pain alongside altering the way the brain experiences pain to provide relief against moderate or severe pains. Tapaday should purely be consumed when under the care of a licensed medical provider.
