If you experience moderate to moderately severe pain, your healthcare provider may prescribe tramadol hydrochloride (Ultram^®). As part of a class of drugs known as "centrally acting opioid analgesics," this medication works by affecting the central nervous system and certain brain chemicals. Tramadol comes in tablet form and is usually taken every four to six hours as needed. It is important to note that tramadol does have a significant potential for both psychological and physical dependence and abuse, similar to morphine.
