Tramadol

Tramadol is a prescription opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It's often prescribed when other pain relievers have not been effective. Tramadol works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain to alter the perception of pain, and it also affects neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine. While it's considered less potent than other opioids, tramadol still carries a risk of dependence and addiction....
