San Francisco, CA -- (SBWire) -- 05/17/2018 --The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is leading to the high occurrence of chronic musculoskeletal pain, which is likely to create an upswing in the demand for tapentadol worldwide. Tapentadol is also used for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain. The potency of this treatment lies somewhere between that of morphine and tramadol. Despite the lower occurrence of side effects, its analgesic efficacy is comparable to that of oxycodone. The treatment is still prescribed to adults as there has been no well-controlled study reported for children. The rising incidence of diabetes is also working in favor of the global market.

However, tapentadol comes with its own set of contraindications, especially in the treatment of people suffering from epilepsy or are susceptible to seizures. People suffering from brain tumor, head injuries, or other conditions should avoid consuming it as it increases intracranial pressure. Its usage is discouraged for people with asthma as it boosts the risk of respiratory depression. Its consumption is also strictly prohibited for patients having biliary tract disease such as both acute and chronic pancreatitis as it may cause spasms of the sphincter of Oddi. Besides this, tapentadol cannot be used for people suffering from severe liver diseases and should be carefully administered to people with the moderate liver disease. Moreover, it is not recommended for treatment of women during and immediately before labor and delivery.
