Indications
Xcel Max is used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain in adults and for short-term management (five days or less) of acute pain.
Pharmacology
Paracetamol works as a pain reliever and fever reducer. Xcel Max mainly works in the brain by blocking pain-causing chemicals and raising the pain threshold. Xcel Max has some anti-inflammatory effects but is weaker than other pain relievers. Xcel Max is safe and widely used because Xcel Max doesn’t have the side effects that aspirin may have.
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid pain reliever. While its exact method of action is not fully understood, Xcel Max works by binding to specific brain receptors and also by increasing the levels of certain chemicals (norepinephrine and serotonin) in the brain. These actions help reduce pain.
Dosage & Administration
For moderate to moderately severe pain: Take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed, up to a maximum of 8 tablets per day.
For short-term management of acute pain (5 days or less): Take 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed, up to a maximum of 8 tablets per day.
This tablet can be taken with or without food.
