Tramadol is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It is a synthetic opioid analgesic, which means it works in a similar way to narcotics, but it's not as potent as drugs like morphine. Tramadol works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, which reduces the perception of pain.
In addition to its pain-relieving properties, tramadol also affects neurotransmitters in the brain, specifically serotonin and norepinephrine, which can contribute to its analgesic effects.
