Tramadol
Not yet rated View History

Tramadol is an atypical opioid which is a centrally acting analgesic, used for treating moderate to severe pain. What makes it so special? Well, beside the fact that it is a synthetic agent, it also appears to have actions on the GABAergic, noradrenergic and serotonergic systems. This isn't case with other pain killers! Tramadol is available in both injectable and oral preparations. Dosages vary depending on the degree of pain experienced by the patient but it is useful to know that Tramadol is approximately 10% as potent as morphine. Oral doses range from 50–400 mg daily, with up to 600 mg daily when given IV/IM.
