Barry MarshallParticipantChoosing pain relief can be confusing, especially when stronger medicines such as tapentadol are discussed. I recently looked into the information available for Australian patients and found that it is important to understand both its potential use and its risks.
Tapentadol is an opioid medicine used for certain types of pain when a doctor considers it appropriate. It is available in immediate-release and sustained-release forms, and the correct formulation and dose depend on the individual situation. It can also cause drowsiness, constipation and other side effects.
One important point is that tapentadol can cause dependence and serious breathing problems, particularly when combined with alcohol, sedatives or other medicines that depress the central nervous system.
My practical tip is to always check the Consumer Medicine Information and discuss other medicines or supplements with your doctor or pharmacist before using tapentadol.
For transparency, the website I was researching is my own site, so I don’t want this post to be viewed as independent medical advice or a product recommendation.

Have you found it difficult to understand the risks and precautions associated with prescription pain medicines in Australia?
