Dosage Forms and Administration:

Tramadol is available in various formulations, including immediate-release (IR) tablets, extended-release (ER) tablets, and oral dissolving tablets. The choice of formulation depends on factors such as the intensity and duration of pain, the patient's ability to swallow pills, and the need for sustained pain relief. Tramadol is generally administered orally, with dosage adjustments based on individual response and tolerability.

Patients prescribed tramadol must adhere strictly to the recommended dosage and administration instructions provided by their healthcare providers. Misuse or exceeding the prescribed dosage can lead to adverse effects and heighten the risk of opioid dependence.
