Tramadol is a powerful prescription pain reliever that occurs in drug addiction. It is also considered to have more abuse potential than other drugs and is therefore not a prescribed drug in many countries. Tramadol is recommended as a pain relief, specifically indicated for moderate to severe pain. It is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance because of its potential for abuse and addiction. Therefore, its use is limited to cases of pain caused by other drugs, such as non-opioid pain relievers.
