Tramadol is a prescription medication that belongs to the opioid analgesic class, widely used for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain. It is often prescribed when other pain relievers such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) do not provide sufficient relief. Doctors may recommend Tramadol for pain following surgery, for chronic conditions such as arthritis, or for nerve-related pain that does not respond well to standard treatments.
