A synthetic opioid analgesic with central action, tramadol is used to treat moderate to severe pain. It possesses both non-opioid and opioid characteristics, and its structure is comparable to that of codeine. In order to increase its ability to relieve pain, tramadol binds to mu-opioid receptors and blocks the brain's absorption of serotonin and norepinephrine. It is frequently recommended for ailments like neuropathic pain, chronic pain, and post-operative pain.
