About
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid that is used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is a potent drug and is generally prescribed only when other pain medications have failed. Tramadol is a controlled substance, meaning it is regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). As a result, it is not available over the counter.
