What is Tramadol?

Tramadol is a centrally acting synthetic opioid pain reliever used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors and inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, providing dual-action pain relief. Tramadol is considered less potent than other opioids but still carries a risk of dependence and should be used with caution.
