Tramadol is a prescription painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain, often after surgery, injury, or chronic conditions like arthritis. It belongs to the opioid analgesic class and works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain signals. Unlike regular pain relievers, Tramadol also affects serotonin and norepinephrine, making it more effective for long-term pain relief. However, misuse or overuse of Tramadol can lead to side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or dependency. Always take Tramadol under medical supervision for safe and effective pain management.
