Overview
Hovid Pengesic 50mg Capsule contains tramadol 50mg, an opioid analgesic used for the short-term relief of moderate to severe pain, such as after surgery, injury, or in certain chronic pain conditions under close medical supervision.
Tramadol relieves pain through a dual mechanism – it binds weakly to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain signalling, and it also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline, which enhances the body’s own natural pain-suppressing pathways. Because it is an opioid, it carries specific risks that require careful use.
How it Works
Tramadol and its active metabolite bind to mu-opioid receptors, reducing the transmission and perception of pain signals, while its inhibition of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake further dampens pain pathways in the spinal cord and brain.
Directions for Use
Take Hovid Pengesic 50mg Capsule exactly as prescribed, with or without food, swallowing the capsule whole with water. Do not crush or chew it. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects you, as it can cause drowsiness and impair coordination, especially when starting treatment or after a dose increase.
Dosage
Hovid Pengesic 50mg Capsule should be taken only at the dose and frequency prescribed by your doctor, using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control your pain. Do not increase your dose or how often you take it without your doctor’s instruction, as tramadol carries a risk of dependence and tolerance with prolonged or excessive use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hovid Pengesic 50mg Capsule used for?
Hovid Pengesic 50mg Capsule is an opioid painkiller used for the short-term relief of moderate to severe pain, such as after surgery or injury, and for certain chronic pain conditions under close medical supervision.
Can I become dependent on tramadol?
Yes, tramadol is an opioid and carries a risk of tolerance (needing more for the same effect) and dependence, particularly with prolonged or higher-dose use. Your doctor will prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary time and monitor you closely.
Why can’t I take this with certain antidepressants?
Combining tramadol with SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition, and also increases the risk of seizures. Always tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking, including antidepressants.
Is it safe to drink alcohol while taking tramadol?
No, alcohol should be avoided while taking tramadol, as combining the two significantly increases the risk of severe drowsiness and dangerously slowed or shallow breathing (respiratory depression).
What should I do if I think I need this medicine for longer than prescribed?
Do not continue or increase your dose on your own. Speak to your doctor, who will assess whether ongoing pain relief is needed and, if so, plan safe long-term management rather than continued unsupervised use.
