Duragesic-T 37.5mg/325mg Tablet is a prescription painkiller manufactured by Tabros Pharma. Each tablet contains Tramadol HCl 37.5mg and Paracetamol 325mg. The combination provides pain relief through two different mechanisms and is used when stronger pain relief is required.

Duragesic-T may be prescribed for moderate to severe pain, including pain following surgery or injury and certain musculoskeletal conditions. Because it contains Tramadol, an opioid analgesic, it should be taken only according to a doctor's prescription.
