About
Dual Mechanism of Action: Tramadol has a dual mechanism of action. In addition to its opioid activity, it also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. This dual action contributes to its analgesic effects.
Onset and Duration: Tramadol is available in immediate-release and extended-release formulations. The immediate-release form provides relatively rapid pain relief, making it suitable for acute pain situations. The extended-release form is designed for around-the-clock pain management.
Individualized Treatment: The dosage and duration of tramadol use for acute injury pain may vary depending on factors such as the severity of the injury, individual response to the medication, and overall health. Healthcare providers will tailor the treatment plan based on these factors.
