What it is used for

Tramadol is used to treat moderate to severe pain, such as pain after surgery or an injury, when other painkillers like paracetamol or anti-inflammatories are not enough. Slow-release forms are used for longer-lasting pain, and the injection is given in hospital. It should be used for the shortest time needed.

How it works

Tramadol acts on opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. It also increases the levels of two nerve chemicals, serotonin and noradrenaline, which changes how the body feels pain.
