Tramadol is a prescription medication primarily used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It belongs to a class of medications known as opioid analgesics. Tramadol is commonly prescribed to manage various types of pain, including acute pain following surgery or injury, chronic pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia, and pain from other medical conditions. Tramadol may be used as part of a multimodal approach to pain management after surgical procedures, helping to alleviate pain and improve patient comfort during the recovery period.
