Tydol 75mg Tab (Tapentadol) works in two ways to relieve pain. First, it binds to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body, reducing pain signals. Second, it inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that can enhance pain relief. This dual mechanism of action makes tapentadol effective for a variety of pain conditions.
