Drug Uses
Tramadol is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It also may
be used to treat pain caused by surgery and chronic conditions such as
cancer or joint pain. Tramadol works by decreasing the brain's perception
and response to pain. It also reduces the size or magnitude of the pain
signal passed from one nerve to another. This medication is sometimes
prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more
information.
How Taken
Tramadol comes as a tablet to take it orally. It usually is taken every 4-6
hours as needed. It may be taken with or without food. Follow the directions
on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to

or for a longer period than your doctor tells you to.
