Tramadol is a synthetic opioid analgesic medication used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain and increasing pain tolerance.
In addition to its pain-relieving properties, tramadol also has some antidepressant effects due to its ability to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters involved in mood regulation.
Tramadol is available in various forms, including immediate-release tablets, extended-release tablets, and oral disintegrating tablets. It is often prescribed for conditions such as post-operative pain, chronic pain, and pain associated with conditions like osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia.
