Key Details
 
Medical Use: It is typically prescribed for short-term relief of intense pain from conditions like surgery, dental work, or severe muscle/joint injuries.
Mechanism: It works dual-fold by activating opioid receptors in the brain and increasing norepinephrine levels to block pain signals.
