Can You Buy Tramadol Online?
Tramadol hydrochloride (
Ultram®) is a prescription pain medication. It can cause both physical and psychological dependence. As with any medication that can be abused, people often attempt to obtain
tramadol online through illegal means.
Although it is an opioid (
morphine-like) medication and may be abused, tramadol is not classified as a controlled substance under federal laws in the United States, although individual states may categorize it as such. Because it is not a controlled substance, it may be easier for people to
buy tramadol online illegally, compared to other opioid pain medications.
Legitimate Online Tramadol
Tramadol can be obtained legally from online pharmacies. First, you need a legitimate prescription from a legitimate prescriber (such as a physician). This means that you must have face-to-face contact and a legitimate medical relationship with your prescriber. After that, you can buy tramadol from any licensed pharmacy, including legitimate Internet pharmacies. If a pharmacy does not require a legitimate prescription, this is a huge warning flag that the pharmacy is not legitimate. The best way to know if an online pharmacy is legitimate is to make sure that it is one of the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites™ (VIPPS
®). In addition, any site that advertises "
cheap tramadol," "
cheap Ultram," "
low price tramadol," or "
tramadol COD" (collect on delivery), is unlikely to be a legitimate pharmacy.
Of course, you can also buy tramadol at your local pharmacy. Either way, make sure your pharmacist (including your online pharmacist) has a complete list of all the medications you are taking and any medical conditions you may have.
