Tramadol is a prescription medication primarily used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics, but it also has additional mechanisms of action beyond typical opioids. Tramadol is commonly prescribed to manage various types of pain, including musculoskeletal pain, postoperative pain, and pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain, and inhibiting pain signals from reaching the brain.
