Understanding Tramadol and its Role in Pain Management:
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid analgesic that works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. It also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, enhancing its pain-relieving effects. Due to its dual mechanism of action, tramadol is effective in alleviating a wide range of pain, from postoperative discomfort to chronic conditions.
