Tramadol is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics, but its mechanism of action differs from other opioids. Tramadol works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, as well as by inhibiting the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin and norepinephrine. Tramadol is available in various formulations, including immediate-release tablets, extended-release tablets, and capsules.
