How it works
Actidol DP Tablet is a combination of Domperidone, Paracetamol, and Tramadol. Domperidone works by blocking dopamine, a chemical substance in your body that is responsible for the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Paracetamol works by preventing the formation of prostaglandin, the chemical responsible for pain and fever. Tramadol works by binding to certain receptors in your brain and helps to reduce your perception and response to pain.
