Tramadol

Tramadol is a prescription pain medication used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It’s a synthetic opioid analgesic, meaning it works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain.

Brand names: Ultram, ConZip, Ryzolt (among others)
How it works: It binds to opioid receptors and also inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, which contributes to its pain-relieving effects.
Form: Available in immediate-release and extended-release tablets or capsules.
Common uses: Post-surgical pain, chronic pain, injury-related pain.

Not for children under 12, or for children under 18 after tonsil or adenoid surgery.

Common Side Effects:

Drowsiness
Dizziness
Constipation
Nausea
Headache
