Product Information:
TREVIA R2 15+100 Tablets is a fixed-dose combination containing:
- Tapentadol Hydrochloride 100mg – a centrally acting dual-mechanism analgesic (mu-opioid agonist + norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor)
- Rabeprazole Sodium 15mg – a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces gastric acid secretion
This combination is designed to provide effective pain relief while protecting the stomach from opioid-induced gastric irritation, acidity, or ulcer risk—particularly in patients requiring short-term management of moderate to severe acute pain.
⚠️ Important Note:
Tapentadol is a Schedule H1 controlled substance in Pakistan due to its opioid properties. Use only as prescribed for short-term pain relief.
Uses of (TREVIA R2 15+100 TABLETS):
- Short-term treatment of moderate to severe acute pain (e.g., postoperative, dental, musculoskeletal injury)
- Pain management in patients at increased risk of gastric irritation (e.g., history of dyspepsia, NSAID/steroid use)
- Alternative to tramadol or traditional opioids when better GI tolerability is desired
Key Benefits of (TREVIA R2 15+100 TABLETS):
- Dual-action pain relief: Tapentadol offers potent analgesia with lower nausea/vomiting than classic opioids
- Gastric protection: Rabeprazole reduces risk of acid-related complications during opioid therapy

- Once- or twice-daily dosing flexibility based on pain severity
