Tramadol is a prescription medication primarily used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It is classified as an opioid analgesic, but it also has some properties of antidepressants, specifically serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Tramadol is often prescribed for various types of pain, including chronic pain conditions like osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain, as well as acute pain following surgery or injury. Tramadol may be used for the long-term management of chronic pain conditions when other pain medications are not effective or when the use of stronger opioids is not suitable.
