Tramadol is a prescription medication used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain. It is classified as an opioid analgesic, but it also has additional properties that make it unique. Tramadol is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It is often prescribed for conditions like post-surgical pain, chronic pain, or pain from injuries. Tramadol works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain. Additionally, it inhibits the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which also contributes to its pain-relieving effects.
