Tramadol is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It is classified as an opioid analgesic but also has unique properties as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). This dual mechanism of action helps to relieve pain through opioid receptor binding and modulation of neurotransmitters in the brain.
Uses
Acute Pain: Tramadol is commonly prescribed for the management of acute pain, such as pain following surgery or injury.
Chronic Pain: It is also used for managing chronic pain conditions, including those involving neuropathic pain.
