Tramadol is a prescription medication classified as an opioid analgesic, widely used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It is often prescribed when other pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are not effective on their own. Doctors may recommend Tramadol for short-term pain after surgery, for injuries, or for the long-term management of chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or neuropathic pain.
