Tapaday 200

What Is Tapaday 200 ?

Tapaday 200 is a high-strength prescription opioid analgesic used for managing moderate to severe acute or chronic pain in adults. It contains Tapentadol Hydrochloride 200 mg, a centrally acting analgesic that works through a dual mechanism μ-opioid receptor activation and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition (NRI).

These combined actions help reduce the body’s sensitivity to pain by altering how the brain and spinal cord process pain signals.

Manufactured by Orange City Pharma, Tapaday 200 mg is generally prescribed when lower strengths such as 100 mg are no longer sufficient. It offers fast and effective relief and is commonly used in both inpatient and outpatient pain management settings.

Composition 

Each tablet of Tapaday includes:

• Active Ingredient: Tapentadol Hydrochloride 200 mg
• Inactive Ingredients: Lactose monohydrate, microcrystallne cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, magnesie stearate, aluminium oxide, croscarmelose sodium, talc, titane dioxide, polyethylene glycol

These excipients support drug stability, bioavailability, and rapid disintegration, ensuring consistent therapeutic effect.

How Does Tapaday 200 Work?

Tapaday offers a high dose of Tapentadol. This drug attacks two pathways simultaneously. Ideally, when you absorb opioids, they bind with 1-opioid receptors in the brain. The pain signals are prevented to reach the brain because of these receptors.

It also prevents reabsorption of norepinephrine by delaying the rate at which norepinephrine is reabsorbed in the brain thus less pain is transmitted to the body nerves. It is so powerful that the patients should be under the care of a doctor to use it properly.
