About Vermor 20mg Tablet

MORPHINE belongs to a class of drugs called opioid analgesics (pain killers). MORPHINE is primarily used to prevent and treat moderate to severe pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term). It can be general (overall body pains) or localized (pain in a specific area of the body).

MORPHINE is an opioid medication and works by preventing pain signals transmission along the nerves to the brain.

Medicinal Benefits of Vermor 20mg Tablet

MORPHINE is a pain killer that works by mimicking the action of endorphins (pain-reducing chemicals) in the brain, thereby inhibiting the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain. Thus, MORPHINE improves the effect of serotonin and noradrenaline (chemical messengers in the brain and spinal cord) and helps in relieving pain. MORPHINE is used to relieve pain after surgery, pain caused by an injury or illness.
