Tramadol is a prescription pain medication used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain.
Tramadol is available in immediate-release and extended-release formulations, allowing tailored dosing for acute or chronic pain. While effective, it carries risks of dependence, withdrawal, and potential side effects, including dizziness, nausea, and constipation.
Tramadol’s unique combination of opioid and non-opioid mechanisms makes it a valuable option for balanced pain relief, especially when used under close medical supervision.
