Tomogex 10 Tablets

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) provides analgesia by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, primarily in the central nervous system, reducing prostaglandin production. Tramadol is an opioid analgesic that works on opioid receptors and also inhibits norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake, providing additional pain relief.
