About

Tramadol is a widely used prescription medication for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It is classified as an opioid analgesic, meaning it works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain to decrease the sensation of pain. Despite its effectiveness in managing pain, tramadol has gained attention for its misuse and abuse potential, leading to concerns about its street prices.

The street price of tramadol varies depending on location and availability. In general, tramadol is cheaper than other opioid medications, such as oxycodone or hydrocodone, due to its lower potency. However, its affordability does not make it any less dangerous, as tramadol can still lead to addiction and overdose.
