Tramadol is a prescription medication used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain. It is classified as an opioid analgesic but has some unique characteristics compared to traditional opioids. Tramadol is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It can be prescribed for pain resulting from conditions such as injury, surgery, or chronic pain. Tramadol acts on the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to decrease the perception of pain. It also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters involved in pain regulation, which contributes to its analgesic effects.
