Tramadol is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics. It is used to help relieve moderate to moderately severe pain by changing how the body feels and responds to pain. Tramadol works in the brain and central nervous system to relieve pain. It is available in various forms such as tablets, capsules, and solutions, and is usually prescribed for short- term relief of pain when other forms of non-opioid pain relief have not been successful. Tramadol should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor, and suddenly stopping the medication may cause withdrawal symptoms. It is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with tramadol, including the possibility of life-threatening breathing problems and the potential to cause drowsiness or dizziness, which can affect the ability to drive. Tramadol is only available with a prescription from a doctor and should be used with caution due to its opioid properties
. Always take medicines exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you stop taking tramadol suddenly, you may experience withdrawal symptoms
