Key facts

Tapentadol is an opioid pain-relief medicine that can only be prescribed by your doctor.

Tapentadol is prescribed for relief of severe pain, where other pain medicines have not been effective or cannot be used.

Suddenly stopping tapentadol can cause withdrawal symptoms.

Always take tapentadol exactly as prescribed by your doctor to reduce the risk of harmful side effects and dependence.
