For the reduction of acute and chronic mild soft tissue and musculoskeletal pain in dogs weighing more than 6.25 kg.
Tramvetol features tramadol, a centrally acting analgesic with a complex dual mechanism of action. It acts as a non-selective agonist of the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) and inhibits the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. Tramadol is readily absorbed following oral administration, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 45 minutes, making it highly effective for rapid pain management.²
Unlike most common opioids, tramadol does not typically induce side effects such as respiratory depression, bradycardia, or reduced gastrointestinal motility across an extensive analgesic dose range. It is metabolised in the liver to its primary active metabolite, O-desmethyltramadol,² and offers a proven safety and efficacy profile widely recognised in veterinary medicine.³
Tramadol (as hydrochloride)
For oral use in dogs weighing more than 6.25 kg.
As individual response to tramadol is variable, the optimal dosing regimen should be individually tailored based on dosage, patient age, pain sensitivity, and general condition. Tablets can be divided into two equal parts to ensure accurate dosing. For chronic pain, multimodal analgesia (e.g., combining with NSAIDs) should be considered.⁴
