What is tapentadol?
Tapentadol is an opioid medicine your doctor can prescribe to treat severe pain, only available with a prescription from your doctor.
What is tapentadol used for?
Tapentadol is used to treat severe pain. It will only be prescribed if your doctor decides other non-opioid medicines cannot effectively manage your pain, or you can’t tolerate those treatments.
Tapentadol is not usually recommended for the treatment of chronic (long term) pain conditions.
How does tapentadol work?
Tapentadol works directly on opioid receptors in the central nervous system and reduces feelings of pain by interrupting the way nerves signal pain between the brain and the body.
What forms of tapentadol are available?
Tapentadol is available as an oral tablet.
Some forms of tapentadol are ‘immediate-release’ (known as IR), meaning they start working straight away and their effects wear off more quickly. Others are ‘controlled-release’ (also called ‘sustained release’ or SR), which means that their effect is spread out over a longer period of time.
What are the possible side effects of taking tapentadol?
All opioids, including tapentadol, can have side effects including causing life-threatening or fatal breathing problems.
The risk of these is higher:
- when you first take tapentadol
- after a dosage increase
- if you are older
- if you have an existing lung problem
The side effects of tapentadol are similar to those of other opioids, and include:
- constipation
- headache or dizziness
- fatigue or drowsiness (especially right after a dose)
- loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting
The higher your dosage, the more likely you are to experience one or more side effects. Always take medicines exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
If you experience side effects while taking tapentadol, or are concerned about your opioid use, speak with your doctor. Your doctor can advise you on alternatives or whether you may need a dosage adjustment.
