Drug Uses
Tramadol is used to relieve moderate to moderately
severe pain. It also may be used to treat pain caused by surgery and chronic
conditions such as cancer or joint pain. Tramadol works by decreasing the
brain's perception and response to pain. It also reduces the size or magnitude
of the pain signal passed from one nerve to another. This medication is
sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more
information.
How To Take
Tramadol comes as a tablet to take it orally. It
usually is taken every 4-6 hours as needed. It may be taken with or without
food. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your
doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Tramadol
exactly as directed. Tramadol can be habit-forming. Do not take a larger dose
take it more often, or for a longer period than your doctor tells you to.
