Trammadol

Were you looking for information about Tramadol? Trammadol is a common misspelling of tramadol.

Tramadol hydrochloride (Ultram^®) is licensed to treat moderate to moderately severe pain in adults (age 16 and older). Most people have no problems with the medication. However, side effects are possible and may include nausea, drowsiness, and dizziness. Tramadol works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain, as well as the central nervous system. Although originally marketed as a pain medication with little potential for abuse, research has shown that tramadol works in a similar manner as morphine and does have a significant potential for both psychological and physical dependence and abuse. Tramadol comes in tablet form and is taken every four to six hours as needed for pain.
