Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history. i appreciate your attempt to help your relative to come out of addiction.

Spasamocip tablets contains Acetaminophen which is non steroidal pain killer and Dextropropoxyphene which is opioid analgesics which is mainly the reason for addiction.

You should take him to psychiatrist fro detailed evaluation and management. Usually doctor will put him on simple analgesics and symptomatic treatment to control withdrawal features.
Doctor may advise to go for psychotherapy or counselling.

One should also find the cause of addiction and treat it.

Thanks.
