Tapentadol 100mg is a prescription opioid medication indicated for moderate to severe pain that cannot be managed adequately with non-opioid or weaker analgesics. This medicine acts centrally by blocking pain signals to the brain and enhancing noradrenaline levels, which helps relieve pain and minimize typical opioid side effects. Available as immediate-release and extended-release tablets, Tapentadol is not intended for occasional or mild pain and is only provided when other options fail to deliver sufficient relief.
